This Cycle was part of our studies relating to U.S. History. We focused on the effects of Industrialization, especially how it led to increased immigration which once again changed the complexion of America. Students were invited to look into their own backgrounds and figure out which parts of themselves were out of their control and which parts were molded by their own hands. As with any ‘System’ they discovered that their are areas they can influence and others that one has to learn to live with.
