Social Studies: Compare Then and Now

Students will fold a plain white sheet of paper, that I have given them in half. On the left side they will write 1800's. On the right side they will write Today.
Students will research the coal, timber, glass, or iron industries.They will compare in detail the differences between the way the industry is ran today to how it was ran in the early 1800's. They will research both time periods to gather the information that they need.
Once they have researched they will draw a picture that represents the industry in the 1800s, and a picture to represent the industry today on the correct side of their folded paper.
This was assigned and explained in class today. We did not get computer class time to work on it. It is due tomorrow, Friday the 16th.
