Homework for the weekend of March 20th

For the weekend, finish the activity we started in class today.  Cut up the pictures of the presidents on the page and then rank the presidents from this time period by re-organizing them on a new sheet of paper. Then write up your explanation of why you chose to rank them 1 (low) to 6 (high) to hand in on Monday.  The President sheet is linked up here in case you lost it.

Quiz tomorrow

Tomorrow we have a quiz!  It will be open note, and there will be 5 terms/names to identify, you will write answers for 4 of the 5.  Be sure to bring your notebooks back to class!

The Mexican War
The Face of Battle

Homework for the weekend--Don't Mess With Texas!

Over the weekend read in digitalhistory.uh.edu two sections:
The Texas Revolution
The Texas Question in American Politics

We will be talking about this in class on Monday with the aid of film maker Ken Burns' project The West.

Homework for March 5--Wagon Train!

For tonight, do the reading in the activity from today's class.  It is in Classroom and linked up here.  You should read the selections and answer the questions and share your answers back with us.  Tomorrow in class you will finish the maps you started today.

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.
