Louisiana Purchase -- Louis & Clark

We have been studying Thomas Jefferson & his accomplishments. Part of this has been from watching Ken Burns documentary on Jefferson. One of the major accomplishments/controversies of the Jefferson presidency was the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. The students have been assigned a DBQ to complete on this event. Attached is the worksheet for this assignment. This project is relatively short & will be due on Wednesday 2/15/12.

U.S. Constitution DBQ

We are working on the U.S. Constitution & recently saw the Video "A More Perfect Union". The students were assigned a DBQ today on the U.S. Constitution & comparison to the "Articles of Confederation. This is due on Monday 1/30/12.

At this time I don't have a copy online. I am having tech difficulties with the TMAACS Scanner.

   

US Constitution

In class we are working on the movie -- "A More Perfect Union  - American Becomes a Nation" - The movie is a re-enactment of the Constitutional Convention of 1789 based upon James Madison's Notes of Debates In the Federal Convention of 1787
