Test! Test!

On Tuesday, you will have a test.  The test will cover the Era of Good Feelings, through the Presidency of Martin Van Buren and the advent of reforms in 19th Century America. It will draw on information you learned in our study of Jefferson's Presidency and the War of 1812, so you should review notes on those two sections as well!

The test will consist of multiple choice questions, identifications (for which you must give the significance) and short answer questions.  The latter two sections will have choice (so you will answer 7 of 10, or 4 of 5).

In class, you received a review sheet via google classroom, and you created a series of review questions from the Crash Course video series.  The questions are shared with you via google doc, and are linked up here as well. Please make a copy of the document for your own use before you begin to answer the questions!

We strongly encourage you to use this weekend to watch those Crash Course videos, review your notes, find areas of concern or where you don't know as much about the material, so you can ask questions during the class on Monday.  We will be playing a review game in class, and you will have a chance to ask questions!

Homework for February 25

For tonight, take a look at the document "George Washington, Slaveholder" shared with you in Google Classroom and linked up here.  Look at the lithograph (Don't know what a lithograph is? You should look that up!) and answer the two questions.  Share your answers back through Google Classroom.

Homework for tonight: Jackson and the Bank

Watch the video about Jackson and the Bank.  You may want to take some notes as you go to make sure you remember it!

Jackson and Nullification

For tonight, watch the YouTube video of the Explain Everything that describes, in short, what went on between Jackson and the state of South Carolina.

Homework for the first weekend in February

You were given a copy of the Prologue to the book American Lion, by Jon Meacham in class today.  Over the weekend, read the prologue and complete the sheet that was shared with you in you Classroom folder, and is linked up here.  We'll be talking about Jackson's presidency in class on Monday.
