Students,
These next couple of days we will be creating posters that pit Andrew Jackson's presidency against another one of our early presidents.
You will have received a piece of Poster paper which you will fold in half, to create two boxes which you will fill with information regarding Andrew Jackson and the president of your choice. After researching both you will create a miniature report discussing who you think had a greater impact on the office of the President.

Students,
Today, while I was sick, we did manage to get the last PPT for at least a week. we discussed the Market and Transportation revolutions that changed the direction of America's economic development as we move further into the 19th century. Just to reiterate, in my mind these economic changes and developments in the North while neglecting the South, is one of the most crucial events that leads to the Civil War. See below for PPT.

Students,
Today we rearranged our schedule a bit to accommodate the students in the band. It wasn't a drastic switch but with 15 absent in two periods it felt like the right decision. So we ended up examining the Era of Good Feelings in post war of 1812 America. please see below for the PPT so that you can complete your missed notes at home.

Students,
Today we examined the war of 1812. We looked at three different types of sources to fill out a complete set of notes. We examined James Madisons 1812 war message to congress in an attempt to identify the reasons we went to war with Britain at all.
We once again relied upon John Green (I still don't have much of a voice) to examine and explore causes and effects of the war of 1812 on America.
Next we turned to Partners and our good friend Alan Brinkley to fill in the missing details of information.
Being able to address an issue from multiple sources is a great way to create a complete picture of whatever you are creating; be it an AP free response question, or a Dual-Credit research paper. looking a varying sources provides a wide exposure to ideas and view points that construct a more complete view of the topic at hand.

Retest is now available please come in to tutorials sometime next week to take a stab at it. I will make this announcement in class on Friday as well.
My goal for the unit test is November 3rd.

Students,
In my class today we reviewed what we talked about with Jefferson yesterday and responded to the question "Should Jefferson be revered or reviled"? Depending on how our discussions went we also began talking about the war of 1812.

To make sure it is easy to spot the question, on the blog here it is.
“Should Jefferson be revered or reviled?”
-Beliefs Vs. Actions
-Policies impact and reception
-His character?
