Hey, what's up everybody! This is Mr. Page. Welcome back for another lesson with
distance learning. You'll notice we have
the digital learning materials folder
open in Schoology. You'll be going
through that folder.
This says Period 1, but all classes will
have the same folders so you'll be going
to the digital learning materials folder
and you'll see there's another folder a
new one inside of it called the Lewis
and Clark expedition you had already
finished the Manifest Destiny "American
Progress" Painting Analysis so now on
Wednesday, April 8th this folder will be
giving you the materials that you'll
have due on Monday April 13. So we're
gonna click on the folder and we're
going to take a look at what we have
inside so first you have the Lewis and
Clark expedition directions and you'll
see the many files and links down here
not too many and some of them are also
inside of the directions so we're gonna
go ahead and click on the directions and
you'll see what I mean by that the
lesson essential question is how did
Thomas Jefferson's purchase of the
Louisiana territory and the Lewis and
Clark expedition impact westward
expansion so for the directions what
you're going to do is you're going to
end up completing 4 learning tasks this
is learning task 1 learning task 2
learning task 3 and learning task 4 ok
so for the first one as the directions
say you're going to complete all the
tasks below all files and links are
either included below but they're also
included inside the folder labeled Lewis
and Clark expedition okay so for
learning task 1 you're gonna view a
video and this is the link to the video
right here on the Lewis and Clark
expedition and you're gonna complete the
Lewis and Clark graphic organizer the
graphic organizer is also right down
here and you can click on and to access
the graphic organizer
we're gonna go to in a second but first
I want to show you that if we click on
that link it'll take us to the Lewis and
Clark expedition video and it's gonna be
in a PBS learning org website and if we
scroll down just a little bit the video
is gonna merge right here and you would
just play the video right here I'm
obviously not going to play it now but
you'll play that video you'll watch the
video and then you complete the Lewis
and Clark expedition graphic organizer
based on that video and basically what
you're gonna do is in the left hand
column
you're gonna write down the achievements
of the Lewis and Clark expedition so
while you watch that video think about
all the things they accomplished
throughout the expedition and you'll
make a list of all those achievements
on this side you're gonna write down
challenges they faced as they were going
through their journey across North
America as a result of Thomas Jefferson
buying the Louisiana territory so to be
all the difficult challenges that Lewis
Clark Lewis and Clark faced during their
journey and then down here why do you
think Lewis and Clark are considered
world explorers as you may know they
really only traveled across most of the
United States starting in st. Louis and
going all the way the Pacific Ocean
that's not the entire world so why are
they considered world explorers by many
Americans especially when they became
famous once they completed their journey
so complete that graphic organizer
after watching the video and that is
learning task one okay now for learning
tasks two three and four there's another
graphic organizer I'm going to show that
to you right now first of all I'll show
you how to get to it so if you go back
to the Lewis and Clark expedition folder
the next document is just called Lewis
and Clark expedition I called it a
graphic organizer but it's not really a
graphic organizer I'll show it to you
right now you'll see exactly what it is
okay so what you see here is the
document that will allow you to answer
learning tasks or complete learning
tasks to learning task three and
learning task 4 now for a learning task
2 what you're going to be doing is
you're going to be looking at a map of
the Lewis and Clark expedition and
answering these two questions with the
States through which the Lewis and Clark
expedition travel so you just have to
write down all the states that
Meriwether Lewis and William Clark
traveled through and then for this
question here based on your analysis of
the map particularly the geographic
features that you see in the territories
and the location of where they traveled
why do you think Meriwether Lewis and
William Clark chose that specific
pathway to this to the Pacific Ocean
they didn't travel in a straight line
from east to west they took a certain
path why do they travel in that specific
pathway as they were going to the
Pacific Ocean okay so that's gonna be
based on the map I'm going to show you
the map right now go back to the
directions is one way to see the map but
the map is also inside the folder if I
scroll down here this link will take us
to the maps I'm gonna do that right now
and click on the map and this is the map
that you're going to be in line
evaluating so you can answer the
questions for learning test - what are
the states that Meriwether Lewis and
William Clark traveled through and why
do they choose this specific pathway
when they were making their a journey
okay
and now the learning task 3 is gonna
require you to look at a timeline so
they're gonna look at a timeline of all
the different events and kind of like
the different things they did from day
to day as they traveled across North
America and from that timeline you're
gonna choose 3 unique challenges that
Meriwether Lewis and William Clark faced
do not choose the same challenges that
you wrote about inside the right hand
side of the graphic organizer from the
video you have to find different
challenges that are inside the timeline
that you're going to be viewing and
you're gonna write down in this box what
those three challenges were what you're
also gonna do is you're going to
evaluate Lewis and Clark's handling of
those challenges so as it says here
describe these challenges by providing
specific details and then evaluate the
effectiveness or necessity of the
choices Lewis and Clark made to resolve
those challenges that's what goes inside
that box right there
and that would be learning task 3 okay
so here the directions for learning task
3 again and here's the link to go the
timelines we're going to click on that
right now so here's the timeline right
here there are all kinds of events that
you can be looking at looking for 3
challenges that Lewis and Clark faced
and it continues because it takes three
pages that's page two of the timeline
and then you continue to finally page
three where they've ended their journey
okay you have to pick three challenges
that they have faced that are written
about somewhere throughout that timeline
that is learning task 3 and finally
learning task 4 is just basically kind
of like the assessment considering all
the challenges that Lewis and Clark
faced and also considering like the
Americans expectations for Lewis and
Clark why were they hailed as heroes
when they returned to st. Louis so
that's gonna be done down here inside of
that box I'm sorry down here inside of
this box so considering the challenges
they face the active distance
achievements and the Americans vision
like the American public and their
vision for the future of the United
States why were Lewis and Clark hailed
as heroes when they returned to st.
Louis what you may find in the timeline
but you might not see specifically Lewis
and Clark also brought back lots of
knowledge of different kinds of plant
and animal life flora and fauna are
types of kind of like botanical terms
for plant life but planning an animal
life that Americans had not been aware
of that we're out in the West
Lewis and Clark brought that information
back to Thomas Jefferson as well so
you'll answer that question learning
task number four and once you've
answered learning task number four about
why they were hailed as heroes when they
returned back to st. Louis and you've
also done obviously learned tasks one
two and three you'll have completed all
of what you need to complete by Monday
of next week and you just have to upload
these two documents into Schoology and
there will be a place for you to upload
the documents in Schoology by Monday of
next week in fact that will be up here
tomorrow which will be April 8th so I'm
recording this on April 7th in this
video that you'll be watching it on
