Today's starter was: What are some of the dangers that Americans faced as they moved west?
We read a little about Andrew Jackson's life today in class. We also talked about the Indian Removal Act of 1830 and some of Andrew Jackson's motivations for removing the Indians from the east to the west.
We then used a jigsaw activity to examine 6 different Oregon Country pioneers in greater detail. We will use this when we begin planning our monument next time.
