USA
Today's schedule
Objective - Given a blank map with USA expansion territories identified, as well as resources of the historical expansion, students will be able to list and identify the westward expansion of the USA and the various treaties,wars, and or purchases that led to the modern borders of the USA (including Alaska and Hawaii)
Rationale - Most students know the various states within the USA, but are unfamiliar with how the USA acquired the land. Having a historical reference of how the USA went from 13 colonies to where we are today is basic knowledge everyone should know.
Evidence - By correctly listing and labeling the various land acquisitions of the USA, students will demonstrate the ability to articulate our countries historical growth
