Indian Removal Debate...Day 1! (Countdown 7 days...)

Ok, we're on! The Indian Removal Simulation has begun. Today you learned of your group, and your specific role (Opener, Q/A, or Closer) in the group. You also received a background reading that is specific to your perspective (Cherokee, Jackson Admin, Black Seminole, Missionaries, or Southern Planters/Farmers)

For HW,
1) Complete background reading
2) Actively mark up, and start thinking about what additional information you want to learn about your group's perspective/experience, etc
3) Complete Part 3 in the Pink/Salmon packet. This asks you to identify your group's view (Support or Oppose) on the Indian Removal Act and list at least 3 reasons why. The more detailed, the better.
