President James Monroe Interview Review Activity

Students complete an interview activity to review Monroe's presidency. They first answer 5 history based questions, then they "interview" Monroe after becoming president (5 questions and answers), and then they conduct his last interview prior to his death (7 questions and answers). The last task is a bonus creative opportunity. An answer key is included where appropriate and this would work for a sub!

Sample questions include: 
--List and explain the who, what, where, why, when, how, etc of the acquisition of Florida under Monroe and of the Missouri Compromise. Which issue should Monroe should have spent more time and energy on, and why?
--Explain how each of these political cartoons represents the Monroe Doctrine. Then, write two captions for each: one from the US point of view and one from an international point of view.
--What is your ultimate goal as president?
--What would you like your legacy to be?
--If you could have given yourself one piece of advice on your way to your first inauguration what would it have been and why?
