Our new unit will focus on preparing us for the research project by layering three different kinds of sources. On Monday we watched a very rapid Crash Course on Industrialization. This gave the conceptual background to understand the era. Next, for homework, students read primary documents by Andrew Carnegie and Henry George, presenting differing viewpoints on the wealth accumulated during that time. Students will be assessed on one of those documents using this form. Finally, we turned to what we will call "entry level sources." Students are very familiar with these from previous work in this and other classes. Using the library data-bases, students are to read one source on their assigned person/term, and fill in their row on this Group Initial Research Document. We will continue to use these these forms to lay the content foundation for the period 1865-1914 before moving into our research projects next week.
We also took some time to look at What Makes a Good Question in preparation for our research.
