For this assignment, we had to get into groups of two and create a map about a certain topic involving immigration. The topic I got was "The United States before and after the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo". We had to research our topic as much information as possible, then we had to draw the map according to those standards, finally we had to color it. later on we had to make our own maps to actual pass. And lastly, we had to write a weekly reflection on how our work was going as we were working on our maps.
After doing this assignment, I learned new things about American history that I never knew before. The thing I had learned was that Mexico had control on a large part of the United States, and Texas was kind of its own state. Later on, the rest of the U.S. fought against Mexico, and won. The Mexicans decide to make a treaty to give to the Americans, stating that they give back Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming. |
