Westward Expansion


Our country expanded greatly during the 19th century.  In our classroom, we have already read and discussed this time period in our textbook.  To increase your individual understanding of this era, you will be studying subtopics of what we call Westward Expansion.

You will need to choose one activity from each category (Language Arts, Math and Art & Technology).  Make sure to check with your teacher for his/her approval.  Keep due dates in mind for each of these activities.  Most of your work will be done in class; however, since this project is on the Internet, you can access it from home at the URL listed below:

 Please show this page to your parents and have them sign to indicate that they are aware of the project, the due dates, and your need to access the Internet at home.
