October 15th through October 22nd

Students have finished learning about new technologies, including the Brooklyn Bridge and the Transcontinental Railroad. We are now learning about the Robber Barons and the growth of big business.  Students have looked at many pictures of obsolete items from the past and how they have changed.

We will also be learning about some of the violent strikes that occurred during this time.  Finally, all students will be taking a reading exam that will give them an idea of where they might need to improve when they are reading and analyzing primary documents.
