Today's Agenda - Victorian Etiquette
During Queen Victoria's reign, society became incredibly stable. The leadership didn't change for 60 some years, and within that time the expectations of "how one acts in society, and knowing one's place in society" was cemented into the fabric of everyday life. This had both positive and negative effects. In today's activities, we will look at the social change that occurred within this time period. Friday we will look at the political change.

Pro Con Chart of Etiquette - in this chart there are 10 social norms that were demanded of society. At your table, split-up the 10 and assign 2 to each person (with the remaining two to be done collectively when the first round of jigsaw is finished). Read each etiquette expectation, and think about how those expectations could be seen as a positive thing (what's good about it) and also how these actions could be perceived negatively.
* Your focus should be on what society feels about the "place" or "role" that certain people play, not about the specific acts of etiquette themselves. It's not about how the people are acting, it's about the reason why people are treated in this way, and how that reasoning affects society's expectation of what role that person would play moving forward.
*Each student will submit four responses to the etiquette assignment...the two they were assigned and the two collective answers their table answered.
