Today you will choose ONE of the following webquests. For ALL of these webquests, you will need your notebook and should answer all questions posed on the websites (with a couple of exceptions noted below). You will need the ENTIRE period to work on this. You will need your notes and responses for class Wed-Fri, so if you don't get your work done today because you lack focus or choose to mess around, then your work for the rest of the week will be impacted. I will be checking your work at the end of the period, and you will receive credit for work that is done carefully and consistently throughout the period.
1. http://www.uc.k12.in.us/New%20UCMS/Gutzwiller/webquest.htm
This webquest focuses more on technology, including the ways that the steam engine works. PLEASE NOTE: skip the steam ship link, it is NOT working.
2. http://www.scribd.com/doc/47882059/Industrialization-Webquest
This webquest focuses more on the impact of industrialization on women, specifically the women who worked in one of America's first "mill towns": Lowell, Massachussetts.PLEASE NOTE: only do the top portion of this webquest on the Lowell Mills. Do not do the bottom portion on the Cotton Gin. We will be doing this part soon, I promise!
3. http://invention.smithsonian.org/centerpieces/whole_cloth/u2ei/index.html
This is the challenge webquest. Please do choose this option if you consistently find the work in this class relatively easy, or if I've discussed doing challenge work with you and/or your parents. Otherwise, you should choose webquest 1 or 2, above.
Read the "scholarly article" and answer questions 1-7. Ask me to show you the teacher's notes, which will help you understand this challenging article.
