Thursday/ Friday 9/10 January

The class took time to finish studying Chapter 13 of History Alive!

The class watched and analyzed two films about coal mining:
The first film was to help understand how a coal mine works. This film from 1934 shows some of the improvements that resulted from the labor unrest of the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries.

This film titled "Breaker Boys" illustrates terrible child labor in the mines around the turn of the century.
