Using the Essential Terms and Concepts sheet:
Complete the 10 items from Unit 4 that you feel you need to review. Identify each and explain their significance in American History. Typically, for identification, ask yourself the "who was involved, what happened, where did it take place, etc.", and for the significance, ask yourself "why is this important for the course, what is the outcome, what does it lead to, etc." - choose terms that you truly need to review again, not ones you already know.
Please underline or highlight the significance of each term so that it is clear when grading what you think is the importance of each term. If you fail to indicate significance, the assignment will be returned to you to be completed according to instructions.
Must be handwritten and submitted before we start on the day of the unit test.

Here is how we are going to tackle Unit 4 in such a short amount of time:
Chapter 11 - Jefferson: we're doing this as a class on day one of Unit 4, so no need to read, just keep up with what's on the notes
Chapter 12 - War of 1812 and Madison: there are notes you need to annotate while watching "First Invasion: War of 1812" video and the viewing guide; we will cover Monroe and the "Era of Good Feelings" in class with lecture
Chapter 13 - Election of 1824 through the Election of 1840: we'll cover the Election of 1824, you guys will handle Jackson via "Jackson: the Good, the Bad, and the Presidency" video and the viewing guide, at some point before the test read over the Marshall Court Case Studies (you should only need a review from AP Gov/Civic Lit), we'll cover what's needed from Van Buren in our notes (review the History Channel's videos below of Van Buren through Polk)
Chapter 14 - Forging a National Economy: use of the notes below and there will be a RQ so you must read ch. 14
Chapter 15 - 2nd GA, Reform Movements, Art & Literature lecture in class & complete the 1800s Religions & Utopias Chart
Chapter 16 - We will cover this through lecture
Chapter 17 - Harrison/Manifest Destiny/Mexican American War: notes, and two videos on the TX War for Independence and the Mexican American War found below (viewing guide to be completed)
Marshall Court Case Studies for Review
Answer the questions from the viewing guide, starting at 44 minutes into the program ("The Presidency").
Below is the episode of "The Ultimate Guide to the Presidents" from 1824-1849. The entire episode would be a great review!
