Today, you will switch gears a bit to Industrialization, Urbanization, and Immigration.
First, you will watch a PlayPosit on the period. It is posted in Schoology under the title Industrialization, Urbanization, and Immigration. If you don’t do well, you can retake it to improve their score. If you get messages that say your score isn’t saved, screenshot your score and send it to me via Schoology message.
4. Once you complete the PlayPosit, you should begin studying the Inventions of the Industrial Age. You should reach each of the passages to find the appropriate information. Answer each of the questions about the invention AND create an illustration for the invention.
This assignment is posted in Schoology, not on my website, because of copyright purposes. Download it in Adobe Reader if you want to complete it digitally OR recreate the information on notebook paper, take pictures and submit in Schoology.
If you finish both the PlayPosit and the Inventions of the Industrial Age graphic organizer, you can study for their physical feature quiz (U.S. and continents/oceans of the world) on Thursday or the states quiz on Friday.
