Contributor’s Name (Your Name): Sarah Bell
Our topics for discussion this cycle in Social Studies are: Westward Expansion; American Imperialism; and the Industrial Revolution. My overall cycle theme is Expansion. For our Seminar piece, we will examine Army Orders on the directive to move the Cherokee. Kickoff is a simulation of Manifest Destiny. Culminating Event is a Letter to Future Self. Group Initiative is construction of a paper tower. This is a relatively short Cycle, but I may be incorporating Chinese Cinderella as an ELA connection
