Andrew Jackson: The Man the Myth and the Legacy

Throughout history, the United States has seen 46 different men hold the office of the Presidency. Few of these men have stories as bold and as intriguing as that of Andrew Jackson. From his service in the Revolutionary War, to his policies that caused the suffering of thousands of Native Americans, this class will explore the complete story of this man who would leave a lasting impact on the United States of America. 
   This class will be taught through discussion, lecture, videos and music (The Battle of New Orleans song) Students will receive a timeline worksheet before class that will be filled as we go along through the life story of Andrew Jackson. While information covered will include difficult topics such as slavery and war, my top priority is to keep all information at an age appropriate level. Students are encouraged (but never required) to participate in discussions through the group chat or live. A critical thinking question will also be part of the classroom discussion at the conclusion of the lesson.  It is always my goal for students to both gain knowledge and leave class excited to talk about what they have learned!
