Conflicts with Native Americans 1800-1810
Today you will be researching the conflicts between Native Americans and a budding U.S.A.. You will be given one of 3 names to research, focusing on who they were, and their position in the conflict during the early 1800's. You and your partner will be writing a letter to President Madison discussing your position on the relationship between Native Americans and the people of the United States.
Your letter should be in a business letter format. See this site to review what should be included in this: http://writing.wisc.edu/Handbook/BusLetter_Block.html
Your letter should include an introductory paragraph, reminding the president who you are and who are your supporters. (1-2 sentences)
In your second paragraph you should give a 4-5 sentence summary of how you see the relationship between Native Americans and the U.S. citizens at this time (1810). Perhaps you could even include an experience or example of this relationship.
In your third paragraph, you will be writing 3-5 sentences that tell what YOUR solution to the problem might be. Giving details as to how you see things handled.
You should have a closing to your letter and signature.
This letter can be on Google Docs (shared with smcintyre@fairview.k12.oh.us) or handwritten.
This letter should be turned in at the end of class.
