  5. Round Table • You will discuss each question with a cooperative appointment before we share out as a class. Assign scholars a cooperative appointment, then post the first discussion question: • Does the end of gaining Louisiana justify the means of gaining Louisiana? • Does the end of gaining Florida justify the means of gaining Florida? (Use historical evidence to answer question)

  6. Discussion • “I agree with … because …” • “I disagree with … because …” • “In paragraph ___ it states that … This tells me that …” • “I’d like to know what everyone else thinks about …” • “This connects to … because …”

  7. Round Table • Where do you draw the line between being tough and being a bully? (Use historical evidence from Louisiana and Florida to answer question)

  8. Bell Ringer 4/23/14 • 1. Why did the U.S. want to gain Florida (two reasons)? • 2. Why did President Monroe and the US government back up Andrew Jackson even though he disobeyed orders when he invaded Florida? • If you weren't here yesterday get a packet from the front and read 15.3 to get the answers.

  9. Timeline • Timeline must include: • the Alamo • General Santa Anna • Immigration • Republic of Texas • “Remember the Alamo” • slavery • Stephen F. Austin • Tejanos • Complete an illustrate timeline of events leading to Texas’ annexation to the United States. • For each year on the timeline, write 1-2 sentences (no more than 2!) about the major event that occurred with Texas in that year.. • Next to the sentence, draw a symbol or image to represent that event (bonus points if it is neatly colored!).
