CHAPTER 12THE JACKSON ERAInteractive Notebook pages 8-13

Pages 8-9 - About

the election of

1824 and 1828

and Jackson as

President

For Page 8, students read pages 324-326 and take “quadrant notes” for each section:

• New Parties Emerge• The House Chooses the President• Adams as President• The Election of 1828

After taking the notes, students write two questions that come up from the reading, sort of “If all of this is true, then what happens if…” These should be analytical in nature and NOT simple questions like “who was running in the election of…”Students should use the Post-it Notes given in class to put on top of the quadrant notes they take.For Page 9, students read pages 327-329 and

take Cornell Notes highlighting things like:• replacing caucuses• spoils system• tariffs and the nullification crisis in SC• other items as well

Pages 10-11 - About the Trail of Tears

For Page 11, students read pages 330-335 and create topic sentences for each section…up to two per section. One is modeled in class. The following headings are covered:

• Removing Native Americans• The Cherokee Versus Georgia• The Trail of Tears• The Seminole Wars• Life in the West

• An example of this would be from the reading of Removing Native Americans (pg 330-331):

• Topic Sentence – Andrew Jackson supported the white settlers’ demand for Native American lands in the East even though groups like the “Five Civilized Tribes” (Cherokee, Creek, Seminole, Chickasaw and Choctaw) had established successful communities there.

For Page 10, students retell the story of the Trail of Tears by creating a log of text messages from the major players of the time. Players would include:Andrew JacksonJohn MarshallJohn RossHenry ClayDaniel WebsterOsceolaMartin Van BurenWinfield ScottFrancis Dade

Not everyone has to be included, but enough need to “chime in” in order to accurately tell the story
