Tuesday, March 12th:
There will be a substitute teacher in class tomorrow. You all know exactly what I expect of you, and I have faith you will not disappoint me. As a reminder: I expect for you to treat the substitute even better than you usually treat me: with respect and understanding. Any misbehavior will result in:
- Call home
- Signature
- Lunch detention (you will spend lunch with me)
Do not embarrass yourself, and DO NOT embarrass me. The substitute will be instructed to call/text me if there are ANY issues. I will be in the building, and will leave training immediately if necessary. Be the responsible, respectful and accountable person I know you to be.
3/12 Quick Write:
Today we are digging into the Louisiana Purchase… a purchase Thomas Jefferson made that changed the trajectory, or path, of America. However, Jefferson was very hesitant in making this decision, and his reasoning relates back to topics we have discussed at length– how much power should the Federal government have, and how should the Constitution be interpreted: strictly or loosely?
Take a look at the map below. Do you notice how the size of the US nearly doubled when the Louisiana Territory was added? What consequences could such a large addition of land have on a new country?
As a class we will read The Louisiana Purchase Reading, annotating the article together.
Then we will answer the multiple choice and short response questions on the back of the reading.
Questions and annotated reading will be collected at the end of class.
Reminder: Current Event is due this Friday!
