Quote of the Day: "The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing." - Albert Einstein
Learning Targets for Chapters 19 and 20 Industrial Revolution:
• The Industrial Revolution began in the late eighteenth century and turned Great Britain into the first and the richest industrialized nation. A series of technological advances caused Great Britain to become a leader in the production of cotton, coal, and iron. After the introduction of the first steam-powered locomotives, railroad tracks were laid across Great Britain, reducing the cost of shipping goods.
• The Industrial Revolution spread to Europe and North America. In the United States, the railroad made it possible to sell manufactured goods from the Northeast across the country.
• The Industrial Revolution had a tremendous social impact in Europe. Cities grew quickly, and an industrial middle class emerged. The industrial working class, meanwhile, dealt with wretched working conditions. These conditions gave rise to socialism, a movement aimed at improving working conditions through government control of the means of production.
Agenda:
1) Watch CNN Student News. Students will write notes and summarize two stories of their choice. Mr. Duez will collect this. (embedded video below in this post)
2) We will also discuss Libya and the situation going on there. (Embedded video below of Richard Engel in Libya) The President will discuss Libya tonight in a speech to the American public. It is an opportunity for extra credit.
3) Notes Chapter 19 and 20 - The Industrial Revolution
4) Mr. Duez will pass out the DBQ #12. It is due on Wednesday. Read and respond to the questions.
VIDEO PROJECT IS DUE ON FRIDAY, APRIL 1st. Email Mr. Duez any rough drafts that you need help with this week. Also come in to tutoring on Tuesday or Thursday if you have questions.
