Social+Classes+2

=Social Classes Lesson 2=

In the previous lesson you conducted independent research of your social class and answered the guided questions to gain an understanding of your social class. Well done!

Now with your new found knowledge of your social class you are required to come together with the other members of your group and brainstorm your gathered information for the purpose of creating a poster. The posters theme will be "day in the life of (your class); use the guided questions to help stimulate the process. (10 minutes).

Good job on your brainstorm! now it's time to outline the key features of your class in your brainstorm: Think about:
 * What information is relevant for communicating the life and purpose of my class
 * What was my social status in relation to the other classes
 * What were the responsibilities of my social class
 * What did my social class do in their leisure time
 * How did their responsibilities change a during war
 * What was their family life like
 * What were the roles of women

You should assign each person in the group a different aspect of your class to do research into. to help here are some more useful links and videos but you should also conduct some of your own research:
