The Growth of America

The past few weeks in history, we have been spending time on the growth of America--first politically and now physically. Focus was spent on the creation of political parties, America's growing power as a nation, and then the growth of democracy under Andrew Jackson. Speaking of our country's 7th president, the students had to look at his presidential actions and decide if he was a hero or a villain. Currently, we are looking at the different ways America increased their land. Students are in groups and we are making choices to see if we would have done things differently than the leaders of America did. Next, we will focus on the exploration and settlement of the West. Check back soon for Western skits!
