I can deepen my understanding of industrialization of the American West by comparing and contrasting two perspectives on the Transcontinental Railroad.
The Transcontinental Railroad
What will I learn?
The Transcontinental Railroad, the first railroad to stretch from the center of the U.S. all the way to the Pacific Ocean, helped facilitate settlements in the West. On the other hand, the railroad disrupted the lives of wildlife and Native American peoples. In these articles you will see both the benefits and the detriments of the Transcontinental Railroad.
What question should I keep in mind?
How did the Transcontinental Railroad both help and harm people?
These articles show different perspectives on the Transcontinental Railroad. Use these two articles to answer the Comprehension Question, "How did the Transcontinental Railroad both help and harm people?"
As you read each article, use the highlighter tool to mark sentences and phrase that show the benefits and harms of the railroad. Use different colors to represent the benefits and the harms. When answering the Write Prompt on "Transcontinental Railroad," be sure to use your highlighted evidence to support your answer.
2. How did the Transcontinental Railroad both help and harm people?

TUESDAY, JANUARY 23: ntro to Pueblo Indians.https://jr.brainpop.com/socialstudies/nativeamericans/pueblo/
I can build an understanding of how the Pueblo utilized natural resources by exploring an interactive timeline to learn about the Pueblos and the ways they adapted to their environment.
Do interactive read aloud of the page. http://www.crowcanyon.org/educationproducts/pueblo_history_kids/introduction.asp Students work independently selecting one of the time periods from the interactive timeline to learn about Pueblos and the ways they adapted to their environment from one time period: Basketmaker, Pueblo one, Pueblo two, Pueblo 3 or Post-migration 1300-1950
