5 PARAGRAPH ESSAY
Think back to Friday. We started viewing a media source that took a deep look into the life of a Native American by the name of Geronimo.
Geronimo lived from June 16, 1829 – February 17, 1909. He was a prominent leader of the Bedonkohe Apache who fought against Mexico and the United States for their expansion into Apache tribal lands for several decades during the Apache Wars. "Geronimo" was the name given to him during a battle with Mexican soldiers. His Chiricahua name is often rendered as Goyathlay or Goyahkla in English.
After an attack by a company of Mexican soldiers killed his mother, wife and three children in 1858, Geronimo joined revenge attacks on the Mexicans. During his career as a war chief, he was notorious for consistently urging raids upon Mexican Provinces and their towns, and later against American locations across Arizona, New Mexico and western Texas
In 1886 Geronimo surrendered to U.S. authorities after a lengthy pursuit. As a prisoner of war in old age he became a celebrity and appeared in fairs but was never allowed to return to the land of his birth. He later regretted his surrender and claimed the conditions he made had been ignored. Geronimo died in 1909 from complications of pneumonia at Fort Sill, Oklahoma.
Please get out your Cornell Notes from last Friday and continue them today as we finish. Below are the 4 learning targets we are trying to focus on. Read them to try and understand what they mean:I can deconstruct sources to reveal an author's point of view and purpose.
I can evaluate the credibility of a source.
I can analyze the relationship among diverse sources on the same topic.
I can select specific evidence to support an interpretation.
