Utah Studies--Friday, September 10, 2010

Today in class students read an article about the effects of the Mexican-American War. Then they wrote a short 1/2 page essay about how Utah would be different if Mexico had won that war. Yesterday, I was out sick, but students read about and took notes on what happened in Utah during the Spanish/Mexican era--things like the trappers, the US government explorers, and the arrival of the LDS people in 1847. DUE MONDAY: Students essays about if Mexico had won the Mexican-American War are due at the start of class.
