Assignments

I have been able to complete the Observation Assignment for this class but I am struggling with the Content paper. My topic is based on comparing children today to children from Colonial America. I have found numerous secondary sources but no such luck with primary sources. I hope everyone is doing well with their assignments. If you come across any information that might help me out, let me know. See you all this weekend.

    Try looking for letters or journal entries... can you find this book at the library?:

    Also, maybe you can find and bring in artifacts like a (copied) page from a children's book, games or clothing. Or, look for maps and copies of written laws about children.

    Try this site: http://www.constitution.org/primarysources/schoollaw1642.html

    Massachusetts Bay School Laws (1642) Requiring that every father teach his children the Catechism; if not, the children shall be taken from the home.

    If I find anything else, I'll send you a link. Good luck!
