We reviewed the Congress of Vienna and students completed the Congress of Vienna page of their French Revolution packets. We then reviewed the French Revolution learning targets as a review for the unit test Friday.
I also played the Garmin Super Bowl ad featuring Napoleon.

We examined the impact of industrialization from the point of view of George Pullman’s failed experiment at Pullman, Illinois. Mrs. Atkinson came in to talk about AP exam registration. We then considered imperialism through the case study of the annexation of Hawaii.
The unit 5 test review bank is now available at The Testing Center.

I spent most of the period talking about monetary issues underlying the Populist Movement including:
- The Coinage Act of 1873 (Crime of ‘73)
- The Bland-Allison Act (1878)
- The Sherman Silver Purchase Act (1890)
- The McKinley Tariff (1890)
I also used characters, settings, and events from L. Frank Baum’s novel The Wizard of Oz to help illustrate the Populist movement, especially the demand for silver coinage.

Sorry kids! I’m going to be out for at least the next couple of days with the flu. Continue to turn in assignments a day behind the original schedule (due to the snow day) for now. That means Labor Unions will be due today, “Mirror with a Memory” on Friday, and Farmer’s Dilemma on Friday.
Today, you will work to complete your wiki pages. When you have finished, you will have time to work in Discourse chapters 26-28.
Have fun, and I hope to see you on Friday.

Students worked on wiki pages. 1st hour is working on the Gilded Age, 3rd hour on industrialism, and 7th hour on imperialism. These will be finished in class tomorrow, and available for review.
Students wishing to earn extra credit may do additional, previously unclaimed, topics from any of those three wiki pages. Students must get approval from me for the topic, and the work must be complete by Friday, January 25 to be eligible for points. Limit one additional topic per student.
