It addressed five issues that Jefferson's administration faced.1. Should every person have the right to vote?2. Should settlers be allowed to farm in American Indian territory?3. Should the Supreme Court be able to decide what is and isn't constitutional?4. Should the president act outside the Constitution to agree to the Louisiana Purchase?5. Should the president ban all trade with Great Britain and France to make those two countries stop stealing our ships?The activity helps students learn how five famous people from that era felt about each issue.We used "Tecumseh and the American Indian Experience" and loved it. Not every mini-project worked the way the author intended, but my students were still able to grasp the concepts being demonstrated. Tecumseh appeared in our history text, so naturally he also appeared on my chapter test. Not one scholar missed those questions. I was pleased."Expansion and the Oregon Trail" is a choose your own adventure game in which teams compete to get to Oregon. The filler games were geared towards very young children and we skipped some of them. The choices did not lead to much variation, but there were penalties for mistakes. The most important thing to me was that the game worked in the context of a whole classroom.My favorite activity has been "The Civil War". We made a map on the classroom floor with masking tape and painter's tape. Then we reenacted the Battle of Fayetteville, Arkansas. My eighth grade girls came to me after school and stated that they better understood what it was like for the townspeople to live through a war.I am disappointed to report that there are typos and other mistakes that could have been easily corrected. This book is marketed to teachers. It should have been better proofreadAs teachers we are advised to use hands-on learning to help students grasp concepts better, but my teacher's edition calls a web-search "hands-on" and offers precious little help with how to make history fun. This book does exactly that! History is suddenly fun. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ great lessons *by on Reviewed in the United States 13 July 2024* Use it in my eighth grade history class.
