US History for Mon Dec 7, 2000

On this day, in 1941, the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor in Hawaii.  This was the main base for the United States Navy and over 2,400 people died.  After the attack, the United States entered World War II, helping England, France, and the Soviet Union (Russia) defeat Germany, Italy, and Japan.  So let's go back in history and study one of our country's most successful generals who also became President.

Read the Andrew Jackson packet and annotate (underline) the answers to the "Read and Remember" worksheet.  Then do the "Think and Apply" worksheet, placing an O next to six opinions.  An opinion is something that is a maybe or possible.  It is a belief or idea, but not necessarily true.  You can practice your fact or opinion skills here (easier) and here (shorter).

When you finish that, I want you to read one of the following sites and be ready to explain what you learn:
     Tecumseh (Easy Reading with audio - DO NOT LISTEN!!!)
     Tecumseh (Basic Information - Medium Read.  Good information)
     Tecumseh (Harder Reading - 5 small pages.  Even has Spanish translation!)
