Extra (Optional) Activities

There are some very awesome videos up on YouTube called Crash Course by John Green.  The videos are aimed at high school/college-aged students (and therefore contain some more mature analysis and humor, so put your mature-young-adult cap on) but they do an exciting job of covering what we’re reading about in class.

It's called Growth, Cities, and Immigration: Crash Course US History #25 and covers Ch 18 very well.

You can also watch the CNN student news.
