Act It Out: Lewis and Clark Journey

The purpose of this unit is to understand how territories were added and the impact this had on diverse groups and explore the causes and effects of the Civil War, the changes brought about by the Industrial Revolution, and the impact of American ideas about progress and opportunity in relation to the economic development of the United States. Students will explore major events in this time period as well as patriotic symbols and landmarks. Part of this unit moves from 1783 - 1853, beginning with the settlers moving west of the Appalachian Mountains through the Gadsden Purchase. Then will span from 1819 - 1877 beginning with the Industrial Revolution, moving through the Civil War, and ending with Reconstruction. 

Unit 7, Week 1:

Between 1783 and 1853, the United States slowly added land farther and farther west. As you read about each new territory, think about why the United States wanted that land. How did the United States gain control of each territory? What happened to the people who already lived there?

Social Studies TEKS:

5.4(C) identify significant events and concepts associated with U.S. territorial expansion, including the Louisiana Purchase, the expedition of Lewis and Clark, and Manifest Destiny

• How can you help someone feel welcome?

• What can you learn from someone who is different from you?

Module 6, Week 1 Assessment

While these activities are not required, I strongly recommend them as a valuable way for students to enhance their understanding of the material. Your child can complete these assignments at their own pace, and they should not need to spend more than 30 minutes on them. Of course, if they choose to spend more time, that's perfectly fine, but it's not necessary.

Seesaw provides a convenient platform for students to engage with the material outside of the classroom, and I believe it can greatly contribute to their academic growth.

In this module, students will listen to, read, and view a variety of texts and media that present them with information about how people create and share different art forms.

A genre focus on biography provides students with opportunities to identify central ideas, point of view, author's craft, theme, figurative language, and literary elements in order to better understand unfamiliar texts. Students will also encounter realistic fiction and procedural text to build knowledge across genres.

As students build their vocabulary and synthesize topic knowledge, they will learn about the powerful impact of various art forms.

MODULE 6 ESSENTIAL QUESTION: How do different art forms impact people in different ways?

As students read, view, and interact with the texts and media in this module, they build deep topic knowledge about different art forms, why people create and share art, and how this information connects to their lives.
