due 11/16-11/20

From class:  Tales from English History readings.  Important note:  like with any group activity, you are responsible for being familiar with these readings.  If you felt like you didn't understand them during the group work activity for whatever reason, you need to take a second look.

Due Monday 11/16:  Read "The Battle for Hermes" (given out in class) and make three specific,  relevant, well-explained connections to the industrial age, at least one of which is economic in nature. (Write three sentences minimum). Please type or write *neatly*

The tournament of inventions will also continue on Monday:

B block:  the final - the assembly line vs. anesthesia.
C block:  semifinals - telegraph vs. urban planning, vaccination vs. wireless radio
E block:  semifinals - penicillin vs. the steam engine, antiseptic vs. refrigeration (the bye from this last round)

Due Thursday 11/19 for E block, Friday 11/20 for B and C blocks:  create your own invention for our inventor's showcase!  On the due date, you'll get to see what others have created.

Your industrial revolution test will be Monday of the following week (11/23). Study questions and details on the format to follow.
