2/10, 2/11 Your assignment; waterways, canals and transportation
The Importance of Transportation Systems
The canal system in America was just one step in the evolution of our country’s transportation network. Working in groups of 5 or 6 students should create a time line of the nation’s transportation history. Then to help understand the impact of transportation on their own community, each group will research one local transportation route or transportation system. This could be a major interstate highway, local airport, subway system, ferry port, or train station. You might compare the community’s economy before and after the transportation system was built, describe new businesses brought to the area, and list the types of goods exported via this transportation route.
The group should use their findings to create a local time line or map for the transportation history of their community and compare it with the time line or map they prepared for the national system. Have them note the relationships between the two time lines or maps and determine if their community’s transportation system differed in any way from national developments. If there are significant differences, have students research why that was the case.
All of this work goes into the blog. Ask me questions we we go along.

Winter water safety: Mogan/Hajenhne'?Keenan
What did you guys find?
Ice! Keenan learned by falling; pipes could get frozen, especially Amos hallway; pipe dripping; icicles could fall off the barn; icicles could get bigger; outside walls near the art/library have cracks that water can get it; lights hanging out of the blend could fall if get snowed on.
