Ok, we've made! We have looked closely at a lot of primary sources and now it's time to take a position. Was the War justified? Tonight's HW, to do 2 things:
1) Decide on a position: The War WAS Justified or The War WAS NOT Justified
2) Select 2-3 buckets (reasons) for your position.
This means filling out Part 1 and Part 2 of the sheet also found here. If you would rather fill it out via typing/computer, here is a copy. You do NOT have to do Part 3 tonight.
Optional: I have shared ALL 4 classes bucket lists if you are interested in looking at what buckets have been identified across my 4 classes. This could be EXTREMELY helpful if you are trying to narrow down your buckets to 2-3. You can see what other classes wrote, how they worded the buckets, and see what evidence they chose to include under a given bucket.
If you are interested in checking them out. Click the Mexican-American War Essay Tab above and you will see the links to the 4 bucket lists.
