December+1+10

In the discussion tab ([|above]) respond to the following questions: When you think about the positive and negative consequences what sorts of things come to mind? Is it easier to come up with positive, or negative? Do we have an easier time recognizing the "bad" things? Why do you suppose this is?
 * As the Bell Rings...**

Read some of the responses your classmates had. Avoid talking, please.

//**Step One: TAKE A STAND!**// Your homework last night asked you to take the seven document sets and identify how each demonstrated things that were good, and things that were bad. You should now have a list of all of the positive, beneficial effects of industrialization on the U.S. and a list of all of the harmful, negative effects of industrialization. Do you think the industrialization of the United States was more beneficial or more harmful? Which side do you want to argue for?
 * What We Did In Class**

//**Step Two: MOVE!**// Mr. Leson will help you with this, but find a spot with like-minded individuals. Allow classmates to work and converse with you even if you've never worked together before. DO NOT LET FRIENDS DETERMINE YOUR STANCE. Do you think the industrialization of the United States was more beneficial or more harmful? Move according to your answer to that question...

//**Step Three: WRITE!**// Depending on your position, write a couple of paragraphs describing harmful effects, or write a couple paragraphs describing the beneficial effects of industrialization on the United States. Keep in mind the economic, social, and political changes brought by industrialization. Discuss with the people you are now sitting next to the evidence you can use to build your argument. How will you support your position? Where from your textbook and readings can you find supporting information? Write persuasively - convince me...

Finish this argument tonight for homework. Come to class Thursday ready to defend yourself...
