due Monday, April 30 - Sections C, D, E, & F Fashion in the United States became very popular during the Industrial Era. Before factories could mass produce goods quickly and cheaply, clothing was made at home and each piece was one of a kind. This was called cottage industry, because items were made in the home.
On an unlined sheet of paper, design your own women’s blouse. Be as detailed and creative as you can. Your goal is to wow your friends and neighbors with the clothing you can produce. I suggest a google image search if you would like to see what these blouses looked like. Turn of the century advertisements will give you a good sense. Attention to creativity is key with this assignment.

due Thursday, April 26 - Section F due Friday, April 27 - Sections C, D & E Use the information in the reading to complete the t-chart comparing urban, or city, life with rural, or country, life. Notice, the last row of the t-chart is blank and it is your responsibility to fill it in, choosing your own theme and examples to show how that theme effects urban and rural life.
due Wednesday, April 25 - Sections E & F due Thursday, April 25 - Sections C & D In class, you worked with a group to read and complete a guided note sheet about one of the sections in the orange History Alive! chapter 25. Copies of these sections are posted on the Industrialization page. Then your group started planning how you would present the key information, including all vocabulary, to your classmates in the following class.
How you choose to do your presentation is entirely up to you. You could create a PowerPoint, handout a paper note guide, use the whiteboard while your group gives the information, or do any other creative endeavor. Once, while teaching at Durham School for the Arts, I even had a group successfully do an interpretive dance to teach about urbanization. (They were in the dance program in the school -- approach this option with caution). The world is your oyster! (but everyone must have a role...) If you have any part of your presentation that needs to be projected or handed out to your classmates, it must be to me in completed format by 7:30 am the day of your presentation so that I can make sure it is ready for your class. due Tuesday, April 24 - Sections E & F due Wednesday, April 25 - Sections C & D In your text book, read chapter 11, section 1 and answer questions 1-3 and 5 at the end of the section on a clean sheet of notebook paper.
