Studying for the Life in the North Test

         The test on Monday has questions on the Industrial Revolution, Sam Slater and the Slater System, the Lowell Mills, the Transportation Revolution, and early U.S. Immigration.  Unlike the quizzes, you can not use your notes and there is partial credit.  Like the quizzes you get to omit questions, for this test you can omit 3 questions.


   Over the weekend you can work on this study guide. I recommend you try and complete it without using your notes first, then going back and using notes to answer questions that you did not know.  After you finish the study guide you can work on these practice questions below.

Good luck, and have a good weekend.
