I think of old clocks and buildings

Robyn

Yeah I feel like the buildings were a big classifier

I think of a combination of classy appearances, dresses or suites, and old literature pieces like poetry. The characteristics would be a type of order, neat, sophisticated and a bit of negativity towards anything different from that style.

Brook

I agree

I agree such things were very important to the people of that time.

Sarah

I feel like there was a lot more than a big of negativity towards different styles.

When I think of Victorian I think of ladies in the dresses with the corsets, and tea in little fancy cups, and tall churches with the pointy towers.

Katelyn

4/18/2019 10:05:48 am

I didn’t think of the churches but it makes sense.

Kayla

There were a lot of defining things

Brook

4/18/2019 10:06:31 am

Same

Brandon Westfall

4/18/2019 10:04:49 am

I think of Queen Victoria, Industrialization, and Romanticism.

Jennifer

Yes Brandon! Fabulous!

Royalty. Being well known. Some characteristics would probably be the way they dressed and how they lived. It’s changed with time but there’s still people who think they are above everyone else.

Cherish

I agree. Royalty is definitely a major part of the era.

Connor

4/18/2019 10:05:18 am

For me what comes to mind is England and it’s giant palaces, Kings and queens, and things like that.

Kayla

4/18/2019 10:06:42 am

Royalty is a big one

James

4/18/2019 10:09:27 am

Forgot about the royalty aspect of it.

Jennifer

4/18/2019 10:05:31 am

First thing that comes to my mind is royalty.

Will

4/18/2019 10:09:38 am

Royalty was a big thing in that era

Nate

Yes Jennifer! Such a good answer!

Cherish

Some things I think of are royalty and poetry. They were pretty sophisticated and liked to follow one specific way of life. They were kind of bitter if their ways and beliefs didn’t get followed.

Kiana Farnworth

Sophistication seems to have been a priority during this time. Why do you think that is?

Sarah

4/18/2019 10:06:53 am

I think of big dresses, formal wear, the different social expectations. They were a lot more formal.

Katelyn

4/18/2019 10:07:41 am

I can definitely picture that as something formal compared to other eras.

Brenna

4/18/2019 10:10:55 am

It's unfortunate that we aren't formal like they were.

Kiana Farnworth

4/18/2019 10:07:18 am

I think of architectural landmarks and monarchy. This may mean it was a time of economic and social progress.

Cherish

4/18/2019 10:08:16 am

I never looked at it that way.

Sarah

4/18/2019 10:10:30 am

I didnt even think about architectural landmarks.

Hailey Jo

4/18/2019 10:17:05 am

I agree, I think classy

James

4/18/2019 10:07:24 am

I think of Victorian style buildings. That era was ordered, neat, and sophisticated.

Connor

4/18/2019 10:08:41 am

Agreed

Nutt

4/18/2019 10:10:48 am

Accurate.

Will

4/18/2019 10:08:08 am

I think of royalty when I think of Victorian, some of the characteristics should be neat, and sophisticated.

Nutt

4/18/2019 10:12:13 am

Agreed.

Nutt

When I hear Victorian I usually think of antique furniture and clothes. They look really fancy, and really expensive.

Brenna

4/18/2019 10:11:43 am

The furniture was pretty though.

Nick

I agree.

Brenna

4/18/2019 10:09:58 am

I think of the dresses and even the big formal balls. Some things we still have that are Victorian are the old looking clocks.

Saymen

When I think of the word Victorian I think of like new of everything getting out of the old and moving to new era of time.

Hailey Jo

When I hear the word Victorian I think classy, older, sophisticated. I also think of houses because we have Victorian houses.

Nick

4/22/2019 08:42:54 pm

I agree

Nick

I think of old buildings mainly.
