Terrific Tuesday Morning

What is a Revolution?  Do revolutions always involve violence?

Todays current event discussion was about Malala Yousefzai and her inspiring message of wanting girls in Pakastan to being allowed to go to school.  Last October 2012, this 14 year old girl, was shot in the head by the Taliban and nearly killed.  They did not want her to start a revolution allowing girls in the country to be educated.  Malala is making a miraculous recovery in a hospital in England and just spoke for the first time since the incident.  She is still promoting her goal of an education for all girls all around the world (malalafund.org).
Handout: A look at 17th C England's class system (Upper vs. Middle vs. Lower class).  How did they live?  Luxuries/privileges?  Diet?  Yearly income?  Cost of goods/what could people afford? (Pages 20-25 of the textbook)

Time to work on the map assignment (Due this Thursday morning)
