Biography: Andrew Jackson

This biography on Andrew Jackson focuses on his childhood and law studies, candidacy in the 1824 and 1828 presidential elections, and service as the seventh President of the United States. Moreover, the biography addresses Jackson's role in vetoing the charter of the Second Bank of the United States, the Nullification Crisis of 1832, and removal of the Cherokee Indians from their lands in northern Georgia.

The biography includes a series of questions based on the reading.

In using this in my own class room, students are encouraged to:

1. Number the paragraphs

2. Read the biography

3. Highlight answers in the reading

4. Use complete sentences

5. Identify the paragraph where they find the answer

The answer key demonstrates these steps. Academic and content vocabulary words and definitions are included.

For those seeking distance learning options, the biography can be readily converted to a digital activity using Google Slides.
