3/27/14

At the beginning of class, students reflected on last-night's homework assignment.  (see PowerPoint below) 

Next, I gave students a political cartoon of Andrew Jackson and the banks, and students made observations and predictions about the image. 

I then gave students some quick background information about federal banks in a PowerPoint.

Following the information I showed students a video on Jackson and the bank.  

Video- Jackson and the Bank

Students then chose a partner.  With their partner they chose an article, either standard or challenge level, and read the article.  Each time they reached a * mark they stopped reading and made a comment about the article

Jackson and the Bank- standard level

Homework is to finish the reading on Jackson if you did not finish in class.
