History and Geography- Industrial Revolution
Mills play a big part in the employment opportunity of Silver City and Greenfield. These cities are where our book takes place. Mills played an important part in the Industrial revolution in the 1800's. We decided to take this opportunity to learn about the industrial revolution. We watched a you-tube video, colored a workbook and read books about it.
