The Dream of the 1890's is Alive @ iTech... Continued
During the weeks before and right after winter break, my students were studying the concept of westward expansion in the United States. One of the parts to the Westward Bound! project was to have the students learn and explore what it was like back in the 1890's. We did this by using a copy of the Sears Catalog from 1897. Using this primary source, along with their research, they wrote about traveling back in time and buying gifts for each of their family members. For more info on this essay assignment, see my earlier post; The Dream of the 1890's is Alive @ iTech.
