Due Thursday:
1) Read Child Labor in Turn of the Century and define the 6 terms: Entitlement Programs, Breaker Boy, Robber Barons, Sweatshop, Feller Hand, Social Worker . The actual reading is not attached but handed out in class. Be prepared for a QUIZ on this reading in class in the AM on Thursday. The questions will demonstrate the you read the material carefully.
2) The following links provide a look into the political revolution happening in Libya and the revolutions that have occurred/are occurring in other Arab nations. LOOK at these and follow your own news sources. WATCH the videos on these sites. Over the week I will continue to add links and in Ad Issues on Friday we will have a conversation about them. Be prepared to share what you’ve learned and your thoughts.
