Westward Expansion Assessment
The assessment will be Tuesday, March 2nd.
The assessment will be on Socrative and will be 20 multiple choice questions. Use the Brainpop we viewed and all the other resources to study for the assessment.
Please log onto Newsela, read the article “Westward Expansion” and take the quiz. When you’re finished fill out your Newsela progress sheet. Please have your Westward Expansion Notes open and take notes as you read. You have 10 minutes.
*If you finish early review your notes and study for the assessment.
Manifest Destiny
Discuss with a partner or group and come up with a three sentence definition of Manifest Destiny. Write that definition in your notes. Then think of an example of Manifest Destiny from the U.S. History we’ve studied so far this year.
We’ll be watching a Brainpop about Lewis and Clark. Please open your Westward Expansion Notes in Classroom and take notes as we view the video.
