Thursdays Socials 10-4

Today we looked at some photos from the Victorian Era and I explained how the Victorians were very sure of themselves and put high value on personal modesty and on gravity. I also discussed how the Queen was a model of her era and that the British saw themselves as the center of the known world. 

We then watched a  film called the Crystal palace (link here). The palace was built to contain an exhibition similar to a modern day EXPO. The exhibition demonstrated the ingenuity and achievement of the British Empire. The film also discussed how imperialism brought great riches to Britain, as well as, increased its power. We will watch the second half of the clip on Tuesday.

I gave you notes on the film so that you would have plenty of information for your sketchnote. You were then given some time to decide on your layout and topic focus. Due date and Rubric given next week.
