5 Terms of Use & Technology Side Note Terms of Use: Thank you so much for purchasing this product I have worked a long?me on it. I hope your students enjoy it as much as mine do. I do request that you only use this for your students alone. If others would like it please send them to my site h`p:// Furnas- At- Chubby- Bunnys- Ink or pay the licensing fee. I request that you do not post these online or represent them as your own. I look forward to your con?nued support Technology required: In my classroom we use two different free web based programs- and The first, Edmodo, is like Facebook for the classroom. The site is completely secure. Students cannot friend each other online, instead you control everything. You, the teacher create groups and the students log in (no necessary) and when they create a student account they plug in your class code. When they log in they are given a parent code for their parents to see what they add and to have access to the resources you post. It is on this site that I keep their calendar, and have them turn in all e- assignments. There are mul?ple benefits of having a class site. First, when they are turning in assignments on Edmodo is the site keeps classes or groups separate making it super easy to enter grades. Second, it gives them a safe forum that you can monitor for them to collaborate and share ideas. The students update a status and can ask ques?ons or post comments, pictures, video links, ar?cles whatever you are wan?ng them to discuss. The site has a huge library of How to videos for teachers and parents. h`ps://support.edmodo.com/home#teacher Reminder101 is a one way text message.

6 Suggested Calendar Day 1 Day 1 Goal- What is more important personal rights or na2onal security? 1. Write the ques?on on the board and as students enter have them write their response in their spirals. Give them?me discuss it with their table teams. (I usually seat them in teams of 3-4) (5 minutes) 2. I hang up the two signs in the hall or a long wall. As a class we discuss what they decided. I explain that it is like a spectrum. That some na?ons believe that the only importance is Na?onal Security and some put much more into personal rights. I explain that one na?on can change where it falls on the spectrum over history. (15 minutes) a. I ask for volunteers and we go out into the hall as a class or a space in the classroom. I ask them as series of ques?ons and have volunteers stand and explain. b. For example: a. Where do they believe the United States falls on the spectrum right now? b. Where did we fall on the spectrum under the Ar?cles of Confedera?on? c. Why is there a difference? d. Why do some events, foreign or domes?c change where we fall on the spectrum? 3. Returning to their seats. I have table shoulder partners each set of partners will tackle one of the readings and comprehension ques?ons. (25 minutes) Needed Materials: Print and post the two placards for the na?onal security vs. personal rights and freedoms spectrum. Print a class set of the Jay s treaty and XYZ reading and ques?ons. I have both color and black and white for your preference. Remember you will have half of the class reading each so I print 15 of both with the comprehension ques?ons on the back.

13 XYZ Affair The French delegates asked that a large bribe, over a quarter of a million dollars be paid before nego?a?ons even began. The American officials refused and when an a`empt at further talks failed they returned home. Charles Maurice de Talleyrand- Perigord The French were angered when the Americans entered into Jay s Treaty in They saw it as a betrayal auer their alliance during the American Revolu?on. George Washington a`empted to replace the popular James Monroe with Charles Pinckney, but the French refused to accept him. In 1797, President John Adams sent a special delega?on to Paris made up of Elbridge Gerry, John Marshall and Ambassador to France, Charles Pinckney. Their goal was to nego?ate a new treaty that would replace the 1778 American- French Treaty of Amity and Commerce that the two countries signed during the American Revolu?on. When they arrived they were only given a few short minutes to meet with the French foreign minister Charles Maurice de Talleyrand- Perigord. Leu with three French officials- Jean Ho`enguer, Pierre Bellamy and Lucian Hauteval they later were known as X, Y and Z. Around the same?me Adams agreed to release the messages from the American delega?on. The messages s?rred up American public opinion against the French. Adams seized the opportunity to push for adding to the navy with 6 naval frigates and ten thousand men. However, he went too far. He and his Federalist passed the Alien and Sedi?on Acts in The act allowed the President to arrest and deport anyone who was not an American and was deemed dangerous. The act allowed the government to jail and fine anyone including ci?zens who cri?cized Congress of the President. Kentucky and Virginia passed resolu?ons declaring the Acts to be uncons?tu?onal and threatened to block their enforcement. Adams never forced a show down over state s rights and virtually no foreigners were deported. The damage to public opinion was done. The overstep led to Thomas Jefferson winning the elec?on of 1800.

19 Alien Sedition Acts Concerned about a French invasion President Adams warned French influence must be exterminated. With the help of a Federalist majority in Congress four laws were quickly passed known as the Alien and Sedi?on Acts. 1. Naturaliza?on Act- Extended the?me requirement that immigrants had to live in the United States to become ci?zens from 5 years to 14 years. Since most immigrants favored the Republicans this delay would slow the growth of Jefferson s party. 2. Alien Enemies Act- Stated that if war was declared against a na?on then all of the male ci?zens of that enemy na?on could be arrested, detained and deported. If war had broken out with France it is es?mated that 25,000 French ci?zens living in the US at that?me. War was never declared and the law was never used. 3.
