When did the Indian Removal Act occur?
The 1830 Indian Removal Act was put into place by President Andrew Jackson on May 28th,1830.

Why did the Indian Removal Act happen?
This Act was put into action in order for the President to move the Southern Native American tribes from the Mississippi River region. Eventually the Indians were moved to modern day Oklahoma. This was done in order to expand the United States territories without having the Indian Nations in the way of the Whites.

What Indians were impacted?
While many tribes were impacted, the main tribes were; Cherokee, Creek, Choctaw, Chicasaw and Seminole Tribes.

How much Land did the Indians lose?
The Creek Indians alone lost roughly 22 MILLION acres of land in the South.

Did the Tribes agree to listen to the Act?
For the most part, yes. The Tribes did not want to fight the United States government in hopes that agreeing would allow the to keep some of their land. In addition, they were worried about the violence and harassment if they were to stay.

What was the result?
The United States controlled over 3/4 of the Southern Territories once occupied by the Indian Tribes.

How many Indians were removed?
It is estimated that by 1837, 46,000 Native Americans were removed.

What are the four methods of teaching? Why do we use them? The four methods of teaching are four different ways of presenting information to our students. These four methods are used to develop a variety of different skills as well as reach a multitude of learners. The first method of teaching is   behavioral. The behavioral method is a form of   direct instruction,   or teacher centered .  In the behavioral method, students are given chunks of information by the teacher to which the teacher then guides the students through that information. The point of behavioral knowledge is to transmit the knowledge from the teacher to the student. By the end of the lesson, the students should be able to repeat the information back to the teacher. Some implementations of the behavioral method would include; presentations, practice, lecture, homework,  d ivergent questions (open-ended questions) ,  etc. The next three methods all use indirect instruction .

ICivics is a non-profit organization who focus on promoting civics education to students. ICivics provides the students as well as teachers with free online games as well as lesson plans. Their overall goal is to turn students into active and knowledgable citizens. The game I played was "Making a Positive Change in your Community". When you first start, you are able to chose a character. From there, you can pick one of four issues to support. Those issues include: Helping out at the Shelter Stop bullying at your school Help your family Clean your local park I decided to choose helping out at my local shelter since I love animals. I had several tasks along the way. Some included feeding the animals, cleaning their cages, giving them water and building an additional shelter.  I wish I would have had time to incorporate this into my Community lesson plans. This would have been a great, interactive example of how students can be good citizens.  In addi
