Historical Shifts of the Late 19th & Early 20th Centuries

Friday, February 1, 2013


Agenda:

It's Friday, I hope you all have a great weekend!

Today we will be looking at some historical movements happening during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, which set the scene for Chopin's The Awakening.

You will be broken up into small groups and assigned a historical movement or shift. One group will also be looking at Kate Chopin's biographical information. Your job as a group is to either draw an image(s) that you feel represents your historical movement or shift, or create a skit to embody the societal changes happening during the time period.

Whether your group is drawing or creating a skit, you will be presenting your topic to the class (depending on time we may do our presentations on Monday) because everyone needs to hear about these important topics!

The topics are:

-Family Life
-The Emergence of New Feminism
-Reforming Divorce Laws
-The Expansion of Education
-Kate Chopin's Biographical Information

These websites may be helpful when doing some additional research on your topic:


Homework:
Pgs. 35-60
