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.
