AP: Teaching Assignment
One of my favorite weeks of class. Put it up there with talk of OJ and “The Real World” and 1968. You will be doing the instruction for Chapter 11 and parts of 12. I’m asking you and your partner(s) to put together a short presentation/lesson on one of the following topics. How you choose to cover it: (notes, PowerPoint, Prezi, handouts, whiteboard) is up to the group.
Here are the topics. First come, first serve.
1. Tecumseh and Indian relations during 1812
2. Mr. Madison’s War: Justification for the War of 1812 and the division and treason the war created in the U.S.,
3. The major battle of the war: Canada, DC, New Orleans, and the futility of this war, as evidenced in the treaty that ended it.
4. The irrelevance of the war in the eyes of the world and its importance to the U.S.
5. The new spirit of nationalism as seen in Henry Clay and the American System
6. The role of the west in furthering the sectional divide and the compromise that only stalled division.
7. The significance of the Marshall Court in promoting nationalism and federal power. Relevant cases included.
8. The early days of General Jackson: Horseshoe Bend, New Orleans, Florida
9. The Monroe Doctrine and American Isolationism
10. Explain Jackson’s hatred of the Bank and the power struggle it incited.
11. Describe the Whig Party, stressing its origin as a collection of Jackson haters.
AP next reading assignment
First off: you’re welcome. I have decided to replace our last chapter of “founding brothers” with an excerpt from “American Lion,” which looks at the early life of Andrew Jackson. And instead of a writing assignment we will be doing an in class discussion.
Our coverage of Jackson has something for everyone. We are talking troubled childhood of war and death, the absence of a father, a lifelong romance, violence, conflict, rivalries, dirty campaigns, horse racing, a bar girl who marries his ‘bro.’ I love the period and so will you.
I will post the excerpt Tuesday. There is a copy of the book in the library and at the savannah library.

HI101: Online assignment #2
Due Monday, October 8 @ 11:59 p.m.
Online Assignment #2
For the second online assignment I would like you to choose one of the episodes of the documentary “Rome Revealed” and write a short (400-500 word) summary of the program.
To get the documentary:
Go to Youtube.com
Search: “Rome Revealed”
There are eight episodes in the series. I would prefer if you watched one of the following: Killing Cesar, Ancient Empire, Blood in the Sand, Madness of Caligula, and Christianity Rising
Please post your summary to the dropbox listed under the lessons tab on Angel, in the comments section of my blog, or in an email.
AP: Articles
I have posted two links for articles that can be used for the articles/podcast summaries that are due this Friday. These should be complete in the same manor as the one you did on the Great Awakening. For instructions on how to write the summaries refer back to the original post.
http://www.historynet.com/american-history-passage-of-the-alien-and-sedition-acts.htm
Also: You can listen to a podcast from the following course from Stanford University on Colonial and Revolutionary America that can be found on iTunes U. If you use only one of the podcast make it the 37 minute one titled, “Why the 1790s Mattered.” Any of the ones on slavery work well also.
Here is a link that will take you to the podcasts if you are on a computer: http://itunes.apple.com/itunes-u/colonial-revolutionary-america/id384234019?mt=10#ls=1
