Hello,

We will be meeting through Google Meet tomorrow during first period. I will go over the instructions for the maps that I want you to fill out and the games that you can play so that you can learn the locations of the Northern and Southern States plus the remaining 17 states. The more you play, the easier it will be for you to remember our 50 states.

Directions: Please write the name of each state neatly plus write the two letter abbreviation for each state underneath the full name. For the smaller states, you may need to draw a line and neatly write in the name and abbreviation of each state. Remember to capitalize each state's name and use capital letters for each states' abbreviations. You will need to look up the abbreviations on line or use the games for help.

During class time today you will be writing two paragraphs and answering a few questions with complete sentences on a Google Document. You may use your Regional Chart and T5.6 slides for help.
Please do your own work. If you have any questions, please email me at [email protected].

Once you have reviewed the directions, checked your work to make sure that it contained all the information requested, and proofread your answers for any capitalization, punctuation or spelling errors, please turn it in to Google Classroom.

Thank you, and have a wonderful weekend!

Good morning,
Here is your first lesson during our e-Learning week:
Your objective/goal for today is to note/review the three main goals that President Jefferson wanted Lewis & Clark to achieve during their expedition of the Louisiana Purchase.

You will accomplish this by reviewing your notes from the textbook regarding the Lewis & Clark expedition AND watching the attached 4 minute YouTube video. One of the goals in the video is slightly different than one of the goals in your textbook. Make sure that you add that slightly different goal in your notes and also explain whether or not they achieved that goal and the other goals in your journal entry below.

After watching the video, you will imagine that you are on the expedition with Lewis & Clark and you will write a journal entry on a Google Doc explaining whether or not those goals were met. Write a date corresponding to a date during the expedition and describe what you saw regarding the geography of the land, the people that you met, and the goals that were accomplished or not. Look in your notes, and on the maps you filled out, and in the video for evidence to support whether or not the goals were met. You should write the journal entry in first person/narrative form and use the word, "I".

Make sure you title your Google Doc with 7A; your name; Lewis & Clark Assignment. When you have finished, please turn it in, do not share it.
This is worth a quiz grade. Be creative but factual and make sure you do not copy information word for word!
If you have any questions, please email me at [email protected].

Turn in your slide presentation. I will print them.
