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.
