As students rotate through learning stations, they analyze the Magna Carta, Mayflower Compact, and the English Bill of Rights. Students interpret the historical documents and draw conclusions as to how these docuemnts have influenced the U.S. system of government.
: Students will analyze primary sources, images, and speeches to form opinions about causal relationships and compare and contrast those opinions with historical documents.
In this lesson, students will learn about the implementation of the Indian Removal Act and the Trail of Tears. Students will engage with primary and secondary sources to build a comprehensive understanding of the events.
Students will use prior knowledge to interpret and infer from the optic “American Progress”. Students will link the images and information to the time period and communicate effectively about those conclusions.
Students will be able to apply their knowledge of the principles of the U.S. Constitution in relation to the events and issues of Andrew Jackson’s Presidency, explain if the principles were demonstrated or violated, and justify their reasoning.
Students will examine several items related to the First Amendment and respond to the teacher-created questions. Student groups will present their conclusions to the class.
Students will critically read a primary source in order to identify and explain the impact of Washington’s Farewell Address.
Students will be involved in a simulation of the War of 1812 on a map, its causes, events, and effects.
