 Education Then and Now- Reasearch  the typical classroom, teacher, and ways students were taught during this time.  Compare and contrast school today to school in the mid 1800s.  What would a typical day be like in school for Tom?  What was discipline like?

Lives of Women during this TIme-What did women have to do on a typical day?  Describe a typical day and some of the tasks.  Laundry?  Cooking?  HOW was it done. Compare it to today.
