UNIT II A - ACTIVITY SHEET

The National Road took a long time to build. The land where the road was built had many trees and lots of rocks and grass. An area had to be cleared before the road could be built. Then rocks had to be broken and measured to make the road surface.

  If you were building the National Road in the 1800's, tell how would you use each thing to construct the road:
