Feb 1st...Separ's post


Hi everyone,
I am home sick and more than likely will be home for awhile. I had a terrible stomach virus over the weekend and somehow it has settled into my lungs, causing a terrible cough. Since I am pregnant, no meds, just rest and recovery---AWESOME.
That being said WE CAN NOT LOSE ground in our curriculum. Today you started my favorite topic--IMPERIALISM. Today, you read about the motives for imperialism and I SURE hope you were more specific than just stating economic, social, and political. You should have identified the need for natural resources, new markets, and the desire to spread Christianity, to name a few.
Take a look at the 1899 advertisement for Pear soap. Examine the picture and answer the foll- owing question. YOU MUST EMAIL ME YOUR ANSWER BY MIDNIGHT! My email is esepar@bellmore-merrick.k12.ny.us This is a homework assignment worth 15 pts.
How does this advertisement support the idea of imperialism? Look at the writing and the corner pictures for clues.
Don't forget to read Elana's post as well. Check the blog every day this week!
