Westward Ho!!!

As I am looking ahead to our next unit, westward expansion, I was wondering if any of you had any particular interest you wanted to study that dealt with the Old West. Gun fighting, Coach robberies (not quite ninja like back then), music in town saloons, number of donkeys per person?
Seriously though, if you do have an interest, let me know and I will try to incorporate it into the curriculum. Especially think about the books you read and what topics interested you as you were reading the novels. Go ahead and post your thoughts on the blog. (And try not to make it too silly!)
It was so great to see you guys again today. I hated not seeing your smiling faces for over a week. Life is just not as grand without APUSH. Good luck studying for your Reconstruction Quiz and make sure to come see me if you have any questions.
Have a great weekend!
Ms. Major
P.S. Any thoughts on who these two ladies are? Also, what is this wooden "house" used for? (Hint: Not an outhouse)


What's this sharpshooter's name?

What was I used for?

Who am I???

You used the world grand, which I think is really swell. Is one of the ladies Annie Oakley?

Major said...

Good guess with Annie Oakley. But which one is she??

Tim said...

The first one is Martha Jane Cannary-Burke also known as Calamity Jane. The second is Annie Oakley.

The wooden "house" was used as a wooden jail "house".

the wooden house looks like it was used as some sort of fort to shoot at mounted indians or animals.
