Today the class discussed the new unit that we are starting.  I often call it the industrialization unit, but it’s really more than that.  We will be covering major changes that occurred, mostly during the 1800s, that greatly effected people’s lives and shaped the modern world we live in today.  In addition to the industrial revolution, we will be learning about the agricultural revolution and enclosure movement, urbanization, the rise of nationalism, and changes in the art of this era. 

Students began taking a few introductory notes.
