Good afternoon everyone! Today we discussed America's previous policies towards the Native Americans in the beginning of the 19th century. We also discussed the reasons behind forced migration of the Native Americans from the perspectives of Andrew Jackson and from the Cherokee Nation.
For homework, you are to research more about the Trail of Tears in order to create a monologue from the perspective of a Native American participating in the journey or from a sympathetic American soldier. The monologue must be at least 2 minutes long and should be dramatic. It should also be historically accurate and include information learned in class or during your research.
For an extra challenge, prepare to perform the monologue. As theatre majors in the school, try to perform the monologue for the class.
Remember that your test is this upcoming Tuesday. I have handed out the study guide that will be due on Tuesday. Please study and feel free to contact me with any questions that you have.
Have a great afternoon!
~Mr. Mazur
