The Conditions of the Workers in the Industrial Revolution

On Friday 25th, Apr. and Monday 28th, Apr. we looked specifically at the conditions of the working poor during the Industrial Revolution. We looked at some first hand accounts and paintings from the period. We also read a small excerpt of the Communist Manifesto which was an essay written about the conditions of the poor and how they should be 'fixed'.

If you were absent, you will need to do the following to make up what you missed:

1) Complete the packet Conditions of the Working Class During the Industrial Revolution using your textbook. In order to complete Source 6, you will need to read the excerpt from the Communist Manifesto.

2) We also began work on a group project. We will incorporate you into this project on your return. If you have a friend in the class and can contact them, you might be able to go ahead and get started on your part before you return.
