 * Others I've added since the Fall Institute:**

Industrial Revolution: under 10.3: students analyze the effects of the IR in England, France, Germany, Japan and the United States. .1 analyze why England was the first country to industrialize (textbook, chapt.4); .3.2 examine how scientific and technology changes and new forms of energy brought about massive social economic and cultural change (they could research current ideas about [parallel] green energy and how those efforts could help solve our economic woes] .3.3 describe the growth of population rural to urban migration and growth of cities associated with the IR. [currently, rural towns, in Iowa for instance, are declining in population, for many reasons, and people are moving to the city] .3.4 Trace evolution of work and labor, including the demise of the slave trade and the effects of immigration, mining, and manufacturing, division of labor, and the union movement ["clean" mining, continuing to support dirty coal production in some states, manufacturing moving overseas, union movement under attack in U.S.' unions role in the new economy] .3.5 understand connections among natural resources, entrepreneurship, labor and capital in an industrial economy. [natural resources-oil, new forms of energy, TB Pickens and others, wind power, opportunities for new small business [new energy companies, and our knowledge worker based economy] .3.6 analyze emergence of capitalism as a dominant economic pattern and the responses to it. [Survival of capitalism, even in U.S. now all bailouts]
 * Rose's standards for World History (sophomore level)**

benchmarks: Jan. .3.1 and .3.6.

English benchmarks from Nancy (she will email these):

Project will take two forms: audio essay or iphoto or other projects that fit into this category: They will contact primary sources by email (sophomores). Remember to cite the primary source at the end of the project. Project must contain a minimum of 20 original (taken by students) photos If audio, it must contain a minimum of two minutes of audio If photo, must contain equivalent number of words (we'll figure this out) There can be no grammar mistakes, either written or audio. This project will be the final exam, and we will show the projects as part of the final exam. -
