This week students will learn about the Indian Removal Act and the events that surrounded the forced removal of the Indigenous Peoples of the Southeast United States. Students will watch three short videos to get an overview of these events and use them to answer questions for their Westward Expansion Map project. After, I will divide the class into five groups and assign each group a newsela.com article around the Cherokee, Andrew Jackson, Indian Removal and the Trail of Tears. These groups will read, write and present what is in their article to the class.
