14 & 15 April

Today's starter was: What do you think is the most important invention in the history of the world?  Explain why you think that-

This is the first starter in a brand new set of starters.

We looked at seven new inventions that came out of the Industrial Revolution - the sewing machine, steel plow, McCormick Reaper, telegraph, steam locomotive, steamboat, and clipper ship.  You need to memorize two of these for the test.  We also looked at a series of advertisements from the 1800s and created an 1800s style advertisement for one of these inventions.

We will only have 5 or 10 minutes to finish this assignment next time.
