Daily Log

Tuesday, April 28

We watched, and students took notes on, a short film about the industrial revolution in late 19th-century America, focusing on the Chicago stockyards. We compared one image of Packingtown from the film (a luminous, inspiring image) with verbal images from Chapter 2 of Upton Sinclair's The Jungle, which students read Monday in Mr. Potratz's absence.

HW due Wednesday:
Second crack at the handout distributed Monday about the crusade against child labor. Be prepared to answer questions about it.
