Students,
Today we talked about migration patterns within the United States. We talked about several historical events in an attempt to vertically align or World Geography standards with the standards of US History which is your next social studies EOC tested course.
We used historical events such as the Dust Bowl, the Transcontinental Railroad, Hurricane Katrina, Westward expansion, and the Homestead act to illuminate Push / Pull Factors in our nations history.
We attempted to identify why people would want to relocate their homes and families due to the above situations.

Announcements: Unit 4 test (United States and Canada) is on Thursday the 17th of October! Study
Looking Forward: Furthering our effort of vertical alignment we will be looking at the three branches of the United States Government; Legislative, Judiciary, and Executive. We will examine what powers they have and the checks they have on each other.
