Class Updates:
Welcome to Social Studies 9! Below are the class updates and all information regarding due dates, homework, etc. Please email me if you have any questions or concerns. Friday October 4th Today I collected your Oliver Twist Summary Assessments if you were not done in class last day, and then we did a class review and discussion on "What is a Revolution?" again. Now that we have gone through the Agricultural and Industrial Revolutions, what have we learned. We agreed that revolutions have three things: 1) they attempt to change things- hopefully for the better 2) they usually try to overthrow an existing structure (ie: gov't or group) 3) they usually have some kind of violence, death, or 'bad stuff' So... I then asked you to think about the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly about the Industrial Revolution. There were a lot of bad things that occurred (child labour, poor working conditions, health issues, environmental issues), but there were also a lot of good changes that impacted society (trains, factories produced more goods, electricity, invention of clocks, new farming tools and techniques, etc). You were to complete the Pros and Cons of the Industrial Revolution activity in class today. Homework is to complete this if not done. Wednesday October 2nd Today we did a recap of Oliver Twist before I handed out the Oliver Twist Summary Assessment activity. You were to use your notes, your textbook, and what you learned from watching Oliver Twist to answer the worksheet. If you did not finish by the end of class, this is due at the beginning of class on Friday. Monday September 30th (Orange Shirt Day) Today we did a review of what we have done so far in Term 1 looking at the Agricultural Revolution and the Industrial Revolution- all had positive and negative consequences. We then continued the video on Oliver Twist. I collected any late work by the end of the block. No homework if you are up to date. Thursday September 26th Today I collected any outstanding Factory Age & Child Labour assignments and reviewed how horrific the conditions for children in the work places were. I then reviewed the introduction story to Chapter 5- Oliver Twist. You had read this earlier last week in class and today I decided to show you the video on it. We watched it for the class today and will finish it next day. No homework if all work is up to date. Tuesday September 24th Today we did a quick recap before reading as a class the FACTORY AGE & CHILD LABOUR sections of your textbook (p.144-150). We read through as a class and stopped to discuss your childhoods from what it would have been like for children during the Factory Age in Britain. I then assigned the Factory Age & Child Labour Assignment in class. You had the rest of class to work on the assignment. It is not homework. We will finish it in class next day. Friday September 20th -Pro D Day No Classes Thursday September 19th Today we started with a class review of last class and the inventions we covered last class. I then showed you a 8 minute clip explaining the Industrial Revolution (it was a slightly US biased video but you got the idea). I then gave you time to finish your Textiles Worksheet I handed out last class and promised you time to finish today. When you finished you were to hand it in and begin reading the Factory Age section of your textbook p.144-147. No homework if your Textile worksheet is done. Reminder: FIELD TRIP FORMS AND PAYMENT FOR FORT LANGLEY. Tuesday September 17th Today I collected any field trip forms and late Agricultural Revolution Worksheets from last class then moved into a review of last class, the Enclosure Act, new breeds of animals, technology and people from last class. I then asked you to get into groups and assigned each group one of the following topics: - Steam Machine - Flying Machine - Spinning Jenny - Water Frame - The Rocket - Iron & Coal You were then to make a group "Education Poster" on the item including what it was, who invented it or key people, and facts about each one. You then presented your poster to the class before I handed out a summary worksheet to start in class today. This is NOT homework as we started late in class after the presentations. You will have time on Thursday in class to finish. A reminder about the Fort Langley field trip forms and payment. Friday September 13th Today we got into our chapter on the Industrial Revolution. I began by reviewing their notes from last class on why the Industrial Revolution started in Britain before jumping into a powerpoint and handout with them. After the powerpoint and notes, they were to work on the assignment "Agricultural Revolution Worksheet". This was due today at the end of class if possible. If not done, this will be homework for class next Tuesday. I also handed out the Socials 9 FORT LANGLEY FIELD TRIP FORMS that need to be signed and returned to me (with the $25 fee) by October 22nd. Wednesday September 11th Today we started with a partner activity brainstorming what the difference between a Revolution and a Protest are. They were to look at reasons, goals, outcomes, etc for each. We then regrouped as a class and went through it all together. I also played the song "Revolution" by the Beatles as a talking point. I then had the students read the intro to the chapter on the Industrial Revolution in their textbook and write down the main reasons why it started in Britain. This was due by the end of the class. No homework today. Monday September 9th Today we did an intro class to Industrialization with a class discussion on modern technology. We discussed what new technology is around today and how long the Apple iPhones have existed (11 years). I then told a story about my great grandma who was born in 1897 and died in 1997 at 100 years old... we discussed all the new modern technology she witnessed in her lifetime. I then asked the students to brainstorm what types of technology they predict will exist in the future. We then went back to the year 1700 and discussed the first big step in modern industry with the start of the Industrial Revolution. I also gave out textbooks today. No homework. Wednesday September 5th Welcome to class! Today we will go over the course outline and what we will be covering this year, expectations, the class website, and any questions you may have. I will not be giving out textbooks today. Textbooks will be given out next week in class. Tuesday September 3rd 2019 School Starts |
