Write an argumentative speech that answers the question: should the Compromise of 1850 be passed? 

Make sure to support your argument (for or against the compromise) with historical evidence. 

When you are finished writing your speech, record it on Flipgrid. 

Make sure your speech is at least 2 minutes long. ]]> 2021-06-05 03:18:38 UTC https://padlet.com/acl281/1il1sfcxgphulhub/wish/1586590221 acl281 https://padlet.com/acl281/1il1sfcxgphulhub/wish/1586598305 Create two political cartoons about the Kansas-Nebraska Act. 

One of the political cartoons should be from the perspective of a northerner. 

The other should be from the perspective of a southerner.

Create a newscast about the election of 1860 with a partner.

You and your partner will need to develop a script and props to properly present your newscast to the rest of the class. 

In your "election day" newscast, make sure to include information about the candidates, the results, and the immediately aftermath of the election. 

I have attached a video of news coverage from the most recent presidential election for reference. ]]> 2021-06-05 03:37:54 UTC https://padlet.com/acl281/1il1sfcxgphulhub/wish/1586605851 acl281 https://padlet.com/acl281/1il1sfcxgphulhub/wish/1586613739 Do some more research on Dred Scott. 

Make sure to only use trusted sites to gather your research from. 

Write three blog entries as if you were Dred Scott (first person point-of-view). 

The first blog entry should be about his life BEFORE the Dred Scott v. Sandford case. 

The second blog entry should be about the Dred Scott v. Sandford case (and its decision).  

The third blog entry should be about his life AFTER the Dred Scott v. Sandford case. 

Each blog entry should be 2-3 paragraphs.

Use a trusted site like Edublogs or Google Sites.  ]]> 2021-06-05 03:50:13 UTC https://padlet.com/acl281/1il1sfcxgphulhub/wish/1586613739 acl281 https://padlet.com/acl281/1il1sfcxgphulhub/wish/1586621769 Create a skit based on the Lincoln-Douglas debates. 

This project will be completed with a partner. 

First, you will need to work with your partner to write an appropriate script about the Lincoln-Douglas debates. During the script writing, make sure to consider what props you will need to perform the skit. 

Additional research may be needed (outside your notes and the textbook). Make sure to use only trusted websites. 

Second, you and your partner will perform your skit to the rest of the class - either live or recorded. ]]> 2021-06-05 04:03:20 UTC https://padlet.com/acl281/1il1sfcxgphulhub/wish/1586621769 acl281 https://padlet.com/acl281/1il1sfcxgphulhub/wish/1586624518 Create a jingle (or short song) for the new Republican Party in 1854. 

First, you will need to write the jingle. Make sure include some of the more significant beliefs of this new political party. 

Remember, this is the Republican Party in 1854, NOT 2021. 

Second, you will need to record the jingle. 

Use any online application that you are comfortable with. I have provided one application you can use.

Your jingle should be no more than 1 minute in length. ]]> 2021-06-05 04:07:22 UTC https://padlet.com/acl281/1il1sfcxgphulhub/wish/1586624518 acl281 https://padlet.com/acl281/1il1sfcxgphulhub/wish/1586631777 Study the geography of the United States in 1860 through additional research (outside of your notes and the textbook). 

Specifically focus on the climate, physical features, and natural resources of the North and the South. 

Once you gathered the necessary information, create a three-dimensional physical map of the United States in the 1860.

You may use any materials needed for this project. Be creative! See Mr. Long for additional supplies. 

Once you have completed your 3D map, write a one page paper explaining the geography of the North and the South - and how it affected the economy of the two regions. ]]> 2021-06-05 04:21:22 UTC https://padlet.com/acl281/1il1sfcxgphulhub/wish/1586631777 acl281 https://padlet.com/acl281/1il1sfcxgphulhub/wish/1586631891 Complete the WebQuest on the Causes of the Civil War.
