Edwardian Farm - Episode 5 & 6

1/10/2021

0 Comments

 
The Boys and Ruth explore more ways to bring in an income on the farm.  It is January on the farm.  The boys try mining while Ruth tries lace making.

The boys try copper mining without much success, however try another method to extract copper by putting metal in copper infused water.  That method works and the team makes some money from copper.  Then they are taken to another mine in Cornwall where they use technology to live the lives of miners for the day.  Tin mining was where the money was at.  Ruth learns the craft of lace making (without much success) as well as how to make a Cornish pasty.  The boys take the pasties down the mine, but do not leave the crusts behind for the little people who dwell in the mine.

If you need a filler in the classroom, this is an excellent series for that use.  You aren't limited to history with this series either you can use this in a family and consumer education or a home economics class to learn a recipes or crafts.  You really see history come to life in this series and Ruth, Alex, and Peter are excellent narrators.

For use in the classroom: just highlight, copy and paste into a word document or a google document for use in the classroom.  You can easily format these questions to your specifications.

Episode 6

Ruth writes a letter home to her mum exploring the day in a life of an Edwardian Farmer.

Ruth's day kicks off by getting dressed and cleaning the floor...one stone at a time.  The boys take care of the fields and look on the animals.  By mid morning Ruth gets breakfast on the table after that bathes for the first time after doing her cleaning. 

It is a fascinating episode and I really enjoyed looking at at the day in the the life of an Edwardian Farmer.  It was an excellent summary of what the team did during the course of the day.
