Dear all,

This is a reminder of what you have to do for Friday (group 2 students only). Paty has got an article which you need to photocopy "The Victorian Age. Industrialism: Progress or Decline?". Read it and compare it with the article by Hibbert: "The Age of Reform". Post an entry on your blog. Deadline, Friday 9 am.

What are the main criticisms made in the first article? What is your opinion?

What big changes took place during the industrial revolution?

What were the working conditions of women and children like then?

Refer to the immigration of workers from towns to industrial towns, what were the consequences?

Visit the following webpage and read the poem "The Cry of the Children" by Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806-1861)

How does the poem relate to the article, and the picture?

On Friday group 1 will have the recuperation session at 11.30 in K-53, and the following session in E-53. Group 2 will have both sessions in classroom E-53.

See you then,
Claudia
