Chapter 7 Test Tomorrow

Tomorrow, the students will take their exam over Chapter 7. Below is a study guide that should benefit the students greatly. If they can answer the questions below, they will do well on the test tomorrow.

Chapter 7 - Lesson 3 Notes

Today we completed the notes from Lesson 3 of Chapter 7. The notes are available below. The exam over Chapter 7 will be Thursday 11/12. I will review the material with the students and provide a study guide tomorrow.

Chapter 7 - Lesson 2 Notes, Adams-Onis Treaty Map

Today the students continued working on their Chapter 7 - Lesson 2 notes. Discussed were the reasons for the Mexican people to rise up against Spain, the role of Father Miguel Hidalgo in inspiring the revolution, the Gutierrez-Magee Expedition, and the pirate Jean Laffite. The notes for Lesson 2 and a short video I showed the kids on the lost treasure of Jean Laffite are attached below.

I also assigned a map project. Students are to reproduce a map showing the results of the Adams-Onis Treaty. This map can be found on page 169 in the textbook and also on the online textbook. The map is due Friday and is worth a major summative grade.
