HW Assignments Week of 11/16

Hello, APUSHers:

Here's the HW for this week.

MONDAY - Please complete your reading of Ch. 12, as well as guided reading questions 8-18. Please note that I will collect ALL of the guided reading questions on TUESDAY!

TUESDAY - MOVIE NIGHT!!! A DOUBLE FEATURE!!! Pick one or the other! Do BOTH, GO THE EXTRA MILE, and use it towards removing a missed HW.

Feature #1:
The Unfinished Nation: Pressures from Within

Reconsiders the so-called Era of Good Feelings during the presidencies of James Madison and James Monroe, exploring the growing rift between Northerners and Southerners over the issue of slavery. This program tracks the aftermath of the United States' victory over England in the War of 1812, touching on economic and geographic expansion, improved transportation, and a national bank. Such bold moves would require a more powerful central government than Thomas Jefferson and the Constitution had envisioned, leading these outgoing young Americans to rethink former concepts of nationalism. This program examines expansion into not only western territories, but also into the North with its fur trade and the South with its slave plantations, a radical response to the invention of the cotton gin. Important documents emerging from Monroe’s presidency, notably the Monroe Doctrine and the Missouri Compromise, are also analyzed, as are the first rumblings of civil war.

Feature #2:

The Unfinished Nation: Worlds Apart

Explains how the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in the United States had a profound impact on the social structure of the country as well as its economic foundation. The program chronicles the changes in the makeup and behavior of the American family, the role of women, life on the farm, and the widening gap between the poor and wealthy in slave and free communities. Also discussing the distribution of wealth, the transportation revolution, urban centers, the emergence of the middle class, college and church life, and education in farming communities, the engaging presentation analyzes the mechanization of agriculture upon the introduction of the McCormick reaper and Eli Whitney's cotton gin.
