Today in history we concluded our study of the War for Texan Independence. Were the Texan settlers pioneering freedom fighters struggling for their independence, or simply illegal immigrants who were exploiting their great numbers to overthrow a government they never had any intention to honor?
Discussions were vigorous in history today as we tackled this question. Following our wrap-up of the Texas question, we transitioned to our study of the Mexican War. We did a jigsaw activity where we broke up into groups to get a great deal of information from the textbook very quickly. We didn't finish sharing our responses in class today, so we'll wrap that up on Friday, February 9.
Finally, the homework for tonight is Important People of Manifest Destiny. Your job is to determine the significance of these individuals, then create a graphic representation that will help you remember each of these people. Friday, we take the Mexican War head-on!
