Greetings 8th Grade Families!

This week students will finish presenting their biography projects to the class. When students are finished we will look at the effects the Cotton Gin had on the increase in cotton productions, which led to the increase in the enslaved population of the US. We will also look at the economics behind both the cotton industry and the institution of slavery. We will then take a look at the current cotton industry as we learn about international trade, globalization and specialization.

Please email with any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Mr. Rowan
