After a quick review reminding students of the lecture on the history of work and industry that was presented before the break, the class continued studying the history of work in the United States.
First students worked individually to consider what life would be like without four items that came about as a result of the industrial revolution: the light bulb; electricity; the automobile; and the phone; then students combined their thinking.
Next the class reviewed the skills used to study from a text book:
Skim & Scan
headlines and titles
photos, graphs, and images
wha is repeated
Check Outcomes
review any summary
review any study questions
Review the Outline of the Chapter
Re-read titles, headings, and sub-headings
Try to determine the authors argument, claim, or thesis
Take Notes
Take about one note per title, heading, or sub-heading
note surprising or especially interesting facts
note any information that clearly and directly supports the author's thesis
Students then applied this protocol to Chapter 13 of History Alive!
