On this day, Mr. Bruns informed us on the steps to doing the projects. The steps are: 1. Skim chapter. 2. Read section. 3. Make notes. 4. Start outline is daily blogs. 5. Find information from 3 other sources. 6. Put PowerPoint together. Our group decided to do chapter 6: Industrail Revolution. I shall work on Section 2 over The Age of the Railroads. Notes: Railroads made transportation from east to west or vise-versa much easier. By 1869, it was possible to go from the very tip of maine to the edge of the coast of California by train (though no traine could do it alone and you would have to transfer a few times). Many of the workers on the railroads were veterans from The Civil War. By 1888, the first statistics were posted, with 2,000 casualties and 20,000 injured. In 1869, Professor C.F. Dowd divided the United States into four time zones: Eastern, Central, Mountain, and Pacific. Before I could finish the section, we watched my video.
