Antebellum and The Civil War in Georgia

Today we began studying the Antebellum and Civil War period in Georgia, focusing on standard SS8H6: The student will analyze the impact of the Civil War on Georgia.

First, you created a new concept map and then worked on these vocabulary terms:

free state, slave state, antebellum, Compromise of 1850, Missouri Compromise, Dred Scott decision, nullification, Kansas-Nebraska Act, state's rights. There will be a quiz on these terms this Thursday/ Friday.

Next, you completed an activity comparing the north and south and then compared and contrasted the two regions.

Finally, you completed an anticipation guide for the unit which we will work on as we go.

Westward Expansion and Growth and Prosperity

Welcome back. It was so good to see you all back and well-rested.

Today in class, we began the new unit on Westward Expansion and growth and prosperity in the United States and in Georgia. We looked at a painting about Manifest Destiny and completed a crossword puzzle on the growth of the U.S., both of which I took up for a grade. Next, we created a concept map on the new standards, SS8H5. We are moving much faster on this unit than we have in the past so be sure to complete all assignments and study.

Have a great night.
