Jefferson & Jackson: Louisiana Purchase & Indian Removal Act 1830

Hello Historians,

      I am out ill today.  POOPY!  When the cat's away the mice...  will continue to master TLH.  Thinking Like a Historian should become second nature just like SQ3R. (Sorry Maya)  I know the past few days have been challenging and maybe even slow, but I assure you your work will pay off.  Remember, we are looking at these eras in history and thinking like a true historian in order to draw a HISTORICAL COMPARISON. 

      Below you will find links to media that are directly related to The Louisiana Purchase and The Indian Removal Act of 1830.  The two presidents who were in office are also part of the media provided.  One is Thomas Jefferson and the other is Andrew Jackson.  Both were great leaders, but for different reasons.  You may work in groups of 2 or individually.  

Content in Social Studies
I can apply content in order to evaluate relationships of people and ideas and draw conclusions
1. View the media provided.
2. As you view, you must find one Turning Point, one Through Their Eyes, one Change/Continuity, one Using the Past, and one Cause and Effect.  (TP, TE, CH, UP, CE)
3. Use the KQR sheets to guide your thinking.
4. When you are finished think about this for tomorrow... Both of these acts of the president were considered unconstitutional by some.  What do you think?  Were these constitutional?  Did these presidents make decisions according to the one document that framed our government?

Comparative Historical Analysis Day 2...

Hey gang,

      Below is some of the same information that we saw yesterday.  Grab a book, read the learning target and let's continue to look at TLH...   THINKING LIKE HISTORIANS.


COMMON CORE READING STANDARD:
I can read closely to determine what the text says explicitely and and make logical inferences from it; cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions drawn from the text.

Comparative Historical Analysis...

Happy Lunes Crazy Kids,

      Below you will find a new learning target and a new way of looking at history.  I spent my whole Saturday with other teachers looking at these concepts.  Once you get into the room grab a United States History book and open to page 271.  Grab your note cards and meet me in circle.
