Ryan Booth, PDC Nate Bowling, LHS flat =Essential Question = Why did the population and economy of the Pacific Northwest rapidly expand from 1850-1900 and who benefited from that expansion?

=Learning Target= I can **identify** the causes of the economic boom in Washington State between 1897-1919 and explain results of that boom today.

=Do Now= We read yesterday that the non-white population in Washington State ballooned from ~14,000 in 1850 to 1,093,000 in 1900. //Treat this as a linear function or as a pattern, calculate what the population of Washington State would be today if that rate of growth remained constant.//

=Materials= //Textbook, Boom Years, pp. 3-5// @http://tinyurl.com/774h335

=Homework= Summarize your Cornell Notes from today's reading. Focus on "Causes of the boom" and "working people".
