Day+3

-compare and contrast northern and southern economies from Day 1 and Day 2. -create a map that identifies the regional and economic differences. -explain the importance of technology and inventions on economic growth. -design and create a scribblemap depicting content knowledge.
 * Today's Objectives:** Students will be able to...

Two Column Notes on page 259, "Differences between the North and South". Post the Word document on your 'Industry-Agriculture Page'.
 * Homework Due:**

//THINK, WRITE:// -You are about to visit a website with an interactive time line about inventions and technology in the United States. When you scroll through the time line, click on the red words on the time line to get a description. -Choose **two** inventions between the years 1750 and 1850 --one that improved agriculture by making any aspect of farming more efficient, and the other that benefits industry and factory production. //In the discussion tab on your Industry-Agriculture page of your wiki, create a new post called 'Inventions'. In the post, WRITE the names and functions of your two chosen inventions, what circumstances caused them to be invented, and how they impact both agriculture and industry.// Click here to link to open a new window for the time line.
 * Opener: NECESSITY IS THE MOTHER OF INVENTION**

//PAIR, SHARE:// -Read your partner's comments on his/her discussion tab and post a reply comment where you assess how these inventions improved industry and agriculture. Then, read the comment that was posted by your partner. -DISCUSS: Based on your observations on the timeline, where did technology and inventions seem to have a bigger impact--in the north or in the south? Why? As a group, be ready to share with the class.


 * CONCLUDING PROJECT:** Using scribblemaps, you will create an interactive map that demonstrates your knowledge of the different economies and reliance on geography in the northern and southern states.

1. Go to www.scribblemaps.com and click on the 'Video Tutorials' icon. Then click on the first tab, 'my first map'. You can continue to refer back to the videos as you want to make increasingly complex maps. 2. Create a new map and draw and label the following information: -in the bottom right, click on the tab 'terrain' to show the landscape and to decrease the roads and highways. You want to map this map aware of the geography of the US. -the approximate region in the southern states that was growing cotton by 1860 (refer to the map in the text on p. 257). -the Erie Canal, extending between Buffalo, NY to Albany, NY. -in a different color, identify the Hudson River and it's route to New York City. Drop a pin on NYC, label it, write a blurb summarizing the importance of the canal to the city. -Emphasize the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers by drawing over them in other colors. Drop a pin at New Orleans and label it. -Choose two locations in Massachusetts where there were textile mills. Drop pins on them and label them. Also drop a pin on Malden and label it. -drop pins or create a colored region where the two inventions you chose earlier had the most impact. Label them and write a short blurb about their impact on the regions. -based on your observations and map work, predict the approximate boundary between northern and southern and draw a line there. 3. Save and embed your map into your wikipage. For instructions on how to do this, go back to the Video Tutorials and watch the video on Embedding. 4. Below your embedded scribblemap, you will write an explanation and analysis of your map and how it visually depicts the differences between north and south, sources of labor, self-reliance and interdependence between the regions. -Pre-Writing: Use www.bubbl.us to help you brainstorm and organize your thoughts as you prepare to write this paragraph. Save and embed your bubbl.us map on your wiki.
