Quarter 3: Section 8-4

The third quarter saw a continuation of Mr. Hatfield's At-Risk Study Hall, so Mrs. Gonwa's enrichment class had students from various sections. The main section was 8-4, however. The class read the book Lyddie, which is about girls working in the textile mills during the American Industrial Revolution. Again, I'm unsure about what some of these pictures show. Therefore I'll explain what I can, and hope I'm correct!

Skit

Gina, Dani, and Sarah performed a skit depicting the average workday - and Sunday - of a girl in the mills. Luke, who was in Math Enrichment, jumped in to narrate due to an absence. Way to go, Luke! 

Luke the hero.	Workin' hard.	Lunch break. MMMM! Tasty!	The younger girls (like, 5 years old) didn't have to work as much as the older girls (like, 10 & above).
Gina  & Dani slave away.	Dani & Gina sit in the park.	Dani & Gina visit their beaus on a Sunday. (As in, boyfriends - not in the picture!)	After another long, hard day is over, Sarah tries to get some rest for the next long, hard day.

Letter - Writing

Aimee and Jackie played the parts of a Mill girl and her brother, respectively, writing letters back and forth.

Interviews

In this section, I believe Ashley played a reporter, interviewing various characters associated with the Lowell Mills.

Aimee played a mill girl.

Cassie played ... a mill owner?

I don't remember what character Chelsy played.

I don't remember Jackie's character, either, but she's apparently had it with the questions. "I'm outta here!"

New Ending

The people in this final skit wrote a new ending to the book, and acted it out. The story has Lyddie's boyfriend die, Lyddie goes on to college, meets a new man (Do they get married?), who later dies of a mysterious illness. Or something like that. I'm unsure if these photos are in the correct chronological order. I beg your pardon for any errors.

Claire played Lyddie, and Mark played her female friend.	Claire and Mark visit over lunch.	Mark, sans drag, introduces a scene.	I don't know Mike's purpose here. Sorry!
Now Mike introduces a scene.	Claire meets her new man - Ben.	Dr. Cory examines Ben, only to find out that Ben's a goner.	Claire buries another one. She is then dubbed "The Black Widow".
