  1. Welcome to 9th grade United States History January 24, 2011

  2. Today’s Agenda • My introduction and expectations • Your introduction and expectations • Questionnaire • Pre-Quiz • Writing biographies

  3. What We Will Cover • Reconstruction • The Wild West • Industrial Revolution • Immigration and Cities • Progressive Presidents • World War 1 • Jazz Age (The Roaring Twenties and Prohibition) • The Great Depression

  4. What We Will Cover • World War II • The Holocaust • The Cold War • And I hope we get to: • JFK, space race, & hippies! • Civil Rights Movement • The Vietnam War

  5. Write like a biographer. • You will be paired up with somebody in the room. You are to write this person’s one-page mini-biography. You will be given time to briefly “interview” this person, where you can ask any questions that you want that will help you write the short biography. • Be descriptive (adjectives and adverbs) and write as if it were a story about that person that might be published in a magazine (I’ll read you an example). • As a biographer, there should be no opinions of your own. Stick to the facts! • 20 points total • 5 points spelling and grammar • 5 points creativity • 10 points content

  6. Where and when were they born? • Do they have any siblings? • What do they remember most about their childhood? • What are some important events in their life? • What do they do with their spare time? • Any unique talents? Achievements? Funny moments? Hopes for the future? Dream job?

  7. Tips • Just jot down notes during the interview. You can put them in sentences and paragraphs later. • Make sure your biography has a clear beginning, middle, and end. Introduce who you are talking about and have a strong conclusion (e.g. don’t end the story too abruptly).

  8. January 26, 2010 • Poll of the Week • Bellringer • Discussion: “The Black Codes” • Reconstruction Video (8 mins) • Word Knowledge Checklist

  9. The Black Codes • The Black Codes were laws that limited the freedoms of African Americans in the southern states in the years following the Civil War.

  10. Black Codes of the South • “1/8 African blood” • “Apprenticeships” • Work or be arrested and auctioned. • Punishment, 1 year forced labor with no pay… • Hmm… that sounds an awful lot like……

  11. SLAVERY.

  12. Black Codes • African Americans could not: • Own guns • Vote • Rent in cities • Testify or serve on a jury

  13. “Radical Republicans,” led by Thaddeus Stevens of PA, are infuriated by Pres. Johnson’s leniency in the south. • 1866: Johnson vetoes Civil Right Act – “[African Americans don’t understand] the nature and character of our institutions.”

  14. Johnson defends himself saying… • “The federal government shouldn’t have so much power! Let each state decide what they want to do!”

  15. 14th Amendment passes: all equal under law. • Congress takes control, passes Reconstruction Acts: military controls southern states • Can be readmitted after supporting 14th Amendment and giving Af. Am. right to vote

  16. “Let us have peace.” • 1868: War hero Republican Ulysses S. Grant elected President. • States readmitted, but southerners use violence to prevent African Americans from voting.

  17. 1870: 15thAmendment gave all men the right to vote… • But wait a second…

  18. I’M FURIOUS!!!!!!!!!
