Monday Night Homework!
Welcome back, Welcome back. Hope you all had a good weekend.
This week we will be finishing up the Industrial Revolution. Today, we discussed certain scenarios that people went through during the industrial revolution: factory owners, assembly line workers, specialized workers and government officials. Most importantly the influence of Labor Unions. Labor Unions are groups of workers that join together to fight for the rights of workers. Labor Unions are responsible for the REFORM during the industrial revolution and making new laws to protect workers from the terrible factory conditions. We still have labor unions today that are very powerful!
Homework: Do you think we still need labor unions today? Explain.

Mid-Term Exam
Hello Students,
This week on Thursday- January 12th and Friday January 13th, you will be taking your World History Mid-Term Exam. What is a Mid-Term? Half-way through the year you will be tested on all material that we have discussed and reviewed this year in class.
This means you have A LOT of material. This exam will count for 30% of your marking period grade. It is extremely important to study hard and long for this exam. I will be providing you today with a study guide that reviews all of the key words that will most likely appear on this test.
Also I have created a page on the side bar that has a lot of material from class and includes the study guide online. I encourage you all to share with each other the definitions and explanations for these terms, so if you would like to post work that you have completed you can comment here. Be cautious using others material, the only way to know for sure if it is correct is to do it your self.
This Week:
Wednesday:

Any and all are welcome, if numbers are too large then students who are achieving the highest grade will be selected for the club.
