Resources for Westward Expansion
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Jang's classroom raised $378
This project is fully funded
My Project
Students will be combining writing, research, and social studies that is focused on the American history of the Westward Expansion during the 1800s.
These books will provide students with different sources and perspectives of history during a period of growth, hope, prosperity, tragedies, and dark parts of the past. Students will be using different methods of research and note-taking to use these resources to carefully create an informational book.
These books are imperative for students to practice their skills in building structure and depth into their historical research. Thank you for your help!
