Thomas Jefferson
Lesson Outline
Craig and I looked at a follow-up news article listing interesting facts about the Hawaiin volcano. We looked to the most recent news footage and video as well. Craig completed questions that required looking at the map of the Barbary Coast, reading a map, and navigating the Mediterranean. We read a New York Times article "Lessons From the Barbary Pirate Wars" that allowed us to see how history really does repeat itself, and how modern-day Somali piracy is very much like the Barbary Wars. Both are forms of terrorism. We read about tributes, blackmail, war and solutions to this problem. We began reading again from "Thomas Jefferson and the Tripoli Pirates." This section allowed us to revisit the roles of the legislative and executive branches - the power to declare war and the power to act as Commander in Chief of the military.
