Jackson and the Bank war, review questions by group

Here's the document with the yes and no arguments in response to the question of whether Jackson's war on the bank was truly in defense of the common man.

Also, here are the answers to the review questions each group presented in class yesterday.

Due Monday

Finish the questions for the article on the vice presidency and the analysis of the presidential rankings (both given out in class Thursday)

due this week

Due tomorrow (Thursday 3/7) - signed permission slip for Veep.  You can find it electronically here.  Please return the slip either way (whether or not your parents give permission).

Due Friday 3/8 and worth up to 10 points:  on an 8" x 11" piece of paper, create a political cartoon, caricature of the of the presidents from this era or symbol for one of the era's major political parties.  Please make it thoughtful and colorful.  Ideally, it should somehow represent an idea that's relevant and significant but that we haven't discussed yet in class.  Include a short 2-3 sentence explanation on the back of the page.

Your Age of Jackson test will be next Thursday 3/14.  The format will likely be the usual (multiple choice and an open response section) but I will let you know about this for sure by the end of the week.  Here are some study questions to help you review.  If I have you write an in-class essay, I will ask you one of these questions, or a close variation thereof.

If you were not in class on Tuesday, here are the cartoons we went over.  You are responsible for getting notes on these from someone in the class.
