First, I want to apologize for not updating this blog sooner.
Secondly, I hope your pen pal letters are ready for the next phase in the writing process, the teacher edit (Roby) and self-edit (Lycee). Remember, you are representing, not only yourself, but your school and France, so you want your letters to be as perfect as possible! I hope to mail all of the letters out before the holiday break.
Lastly, we will continue exploring our current unit, intervention and change, until January. By now, you should have all read chapter 5, lesson 1 entitled Big Business and Industrial Cities.
For extra credit, answer the following questions on a separate piece of paper. Be sure to use complete sentences. You must answer both questions correctly in order to receive extra credit.
1. Why do you think railroad stock would have been a good investment in the late 1800s?
2. How do you think the transcontinental railroad affected economic growth? Explain.
