Words of Wisdom

Territorial Acquisition of Oregon
I can use Read around the Text strategy to investigate how the USA acquired the Oregon Territory.  I can create a map of USA expansion and matrix notes of the information I uncover.  As the USA spread west it continued to divide into north and south regions.

1. Silently use Read around the Text text (History Alive! or America) in the appropriate section to discover why the USA wanted the territory of Texas and how it was acquired.
2. RoundRobin Discussion:  take turns - each person says one thing for each question.
   

   Why did USA want Texas?

   How did we get it?

   When?

   Who was president?

Classroom share, discussion, (include focus on facts learned about the Oregon Trail)  individual students record notes.
