-Create the heading "TABLES" on your "Industry-Agriculture" wikipage with today's date. -Look at the following tables and study the years and numbers carefully. -As a class, we will examine the first table together and look for patterns in the numbers and years. You will interpret the second table with your partner, and then you will interpret the third table on your own as a think/write/pair/share. -After each table, be sure to answer the questions that follow each chart on your wiki page.

Table 2 Questions: 1. In general, what happens to the price of cotton from 1800 to 1857? 2. What connections can you make between this information to the information you learned in Chart 1? 3. Do some math by using the information from Tables 1 and 2. How much money was earned total in 1800 for all the pounds of cotton produced? Estimate how much money was roughly earned in 1860. What can we learn about supply and demand based on these figures?
 * Table 2: Price of Cotton Between 1800-1857 **
 * **Year** || **Price Per Pound of Cotton** ||
 * 1800 || 37¢ ||
 * 1801 || 44¢ ||

Table 3 Questions: 1. Which population grows faster, the Free Whites or the Slaves? 2. Which decides show the largest population growth for Free Whites or Slaves? What do you already know that can help explain this?

SUMMARIZING THE TABLES: In the Discussion tab on your Industry-Agriculture page, you will make a post titled,"Cotton is King". Paste in this question and then write your response and post it. -Does the information provided by these three tables support or weaken the statement that 'cotton is king'? Explain your response. -After your have submitted your comment, read your partner's comment and make a post in response.

-Make a section heading titled, "The Experiences of Slaves" -Use this link for an instructional video on how to make a Wordle. -**While reading,** identify the quotations from slaves and highlight them using the highlighting tool in Word. Click here for instructions how to do so. ** [|annotating_text.JPG]. Save and post the marked up document in your wiki page. ** -**After reading,** use the images from the quotations and the keywords from the Wordle, to guide you in identifying pictures and images of the slaves experiences working on cotton plantations in the early 1800s. You will create a Slide show of the images you have found. Click here for instructions on how to make a Slide show. --Once you are done with the slide show, embed it on your wikipage.
