History -Tea Party and Info....

Victorian Tea

-You are cordially invited to a Victorian tea party!

-Please come dressed (or change when you get to the Maka’s) up in Victorian attire (or anything that comes close!)

Bring:

· a tea cup and saucer (if you have a little tea pot, bring it!)

· your favorite tea

· a dainty tea snack (finger food)

-Be ready to talk about your topic for at least 5 minutes (about the length of a mini-report). You may have an outline in front of you. Think of how you could creatively talk about/explain your topic in real conversation. For instance, you might rehearse some questions that you will ask that will lead into your topic… You will be asked questions about your topic from each person in the class.

-I will collect a detailed outline of what you prepared to talk about at our tea. Please have your name on the paper and it must be typed. You will be graded on the outline (the content and detail of what you covered) as well as your “conversation” during the tea.

-After the tea, we will be watching Queen Victoria and Albert!


Also: in order to do your "tea-time conversation", you will need to finish reading your Victorian England book. Please finish it for homework and to help you on your assignment. I missed you all this past week!

Love,
Lauren
