This semester-long unit focuses on the Industrial Revolution. Students build a body of knowledge on the subject and recognize the impact of Industrialization on today’s world. Through student-centered lectures, activities, and collaborative projects, students become aware of the great inventions and great inventors of the revolution, and the urban factories and labor unions that changed the way things were produced and how people lived. Both the positive and negative effects of the great inventions and machines that made life easier for some and more difficult for others are highlighted. Students also take on the role of investigative reporters to learn about major figures and events of the Industrial Revolution and demonstrate the scope of their learning. Students blend their knowledge from the classroom lessons with their own research and then write opinion pieces, feature articles, journal entries, and more.
Outside Classwork: Varies depending on skill level. Students write and revise, read related materials, and complete assignments not finished in class. Students should expect to spend approximately 60 minutes a week. All writing assignments are expected to be typed to make the revision process easier.

Testimonials
"These classes are a great combination of hands-on activities, collaboration, and critical thinking! My kids looked forward to going to class each week."
~ Melinda P., Homeschool Parent
"C3 is one of the greatest parts of homeschooling. The entire atmosphere is amazing. All the students are kind, welcoming, and friendly. The teachers are humble, approachable, and filled with knowledge. The classes are easy to follow, and don't require much time dedication outside of class. They are interesting and educational, but they are fun at the same time. I have learned not only about biology and speech and debate (some of the classes I've taken there), but about how to be a better version of myself. The compassion of the teachers and the passion of the students urge me to act the same way, and they subsequently make me better as a person. Every time I go to C3, I am excited to see my classmates and learn more with them. For, in this case, the learning aspect of a class isn't boring or difficult. The classes are structured in such a way that it keeps me engaged and is enjoyable to be a part of. It devastates me that, as of next academic year, I will be too old for the C3 classes. C3 is a fun, educational, and friendly environment." - Ella, age 15
