On this day we finished up blog discussions over 5-9 choice or family history. People who shared their family history: Tara, Brittney, James, Melissa, Me, Katie, Cale, and Gabrielle. Topics from 5-9 included: Boss Tweed (Worked as a firefighter at a young age, had contests, eventually went on to control the political system, 3rd biggest land owner in New York), Elizabeth Blackwell (A women's rights motivater, came from a Quaker family, was treated poorly during college, went for a doctorate degree), and Illegal Immigrants (Mostly came over for better wages. Would only get one dolllar a day). Then we started watching America: The Story of Us part 7 over the industrial revolution/cities.
