Manners and Etiquette
A large part of a colonial schoolchild's day was spent learning manners or etiquette. What are manners and etiquette you ask? They are the "proper" behavior in different settings. For example, there was an entire book colonial schoolchildren read called The School of Manners that detailed how to behave in school. But, the book also contained tips for proper behavior while in conversation, while sitting at the dinner table and every imaginable setting you can... well, imagine! Your job is to do some research on the internet and see if you can find ten rules of "proper" behavior in a school setting. Once you have done this I would like you to write down the following: 5 things that a teacher does that you think is rude; 5 things that your friends do that you think is rude; and finally (and most importantly) 5 things that YOU do that you think others perceive as rude.
