DIRECTIONS: (we will do this in class)
• Open the Chapter 9 powerpoint and read each slide. Respond to the 2 questions
listed in the chart. Your responses must be in paragraph form on a separate sheet
of paper. Be sure to use examples to support your response.
• Create a chart like the one below (label each row: transportation, communication,
westward movement, agriculture, manufacturing, and immigration) and take notes
as you read. This should be used to help organize your thoughts and better respond
to the questions. Build your chart as you progress, since it will be difficult to gage
how large each row will need to be.
