Wednesday

Today we need to take notes on Manifest Destiny (a list of thing that happened between 1800-1848), and then I will break you up into groups and have you develop short projects around the rest of the chapter that we haven't covered.

Each group needs to create a powerpoint that covers the summary of their information.  Two visual aids.  An additional source of information - such as a website on the Oregon Trail, etc.  And try and analyze the information in this section with the Unit Goal

Unit Goal: Students will be able to analyze and evaluate how the United States began to develop a modern democracy and celebrated a new national culture, while Americans sought to define the nation’s democratic ideals and change their society and institutions to match them.

Group 1 - Oregon Fever Populates Oregon

Group 2 - A Mandate for Manifest Destiny and Polk the Purposeful

Group 3 - Misunderstandings with Mexico and American Blood on American Soil

Group 4 - The Mastering of Mexico and Fighting Mexico for Peace

Group 5 - Profit and Loss in Mexico
