Agenda: Tuesday, March 28, 2011

Quote of the Day:  “Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.” - Mahatma Gandhi

Learning Targets for Chapter 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.  "How to Rip a Phone Book in 1/2" - quick video.  Objective: If someone can teach you a trick on how to rip a phone book into two, you can probably do a DBQ.  :)
1. Quickly discuss the President's address last night on Libya and the extra credit assignment.
2.  Notes - Chapter 19 and 20 Industrial Revolution.
3.  Pass out DBQ 13 and explain that both DBQ 12 (which was distributed Monday in class) and DBQ13 will be due next class period.  We will work on them in groups to create posters to learn how a Document-Based Question works.
4.  Discuss any questions students might have about the Video Project (due Friday)
