Roadblocks+to+Statehood

**Lesson**: //Roadblocks to Statehood// (This lesson will take about 1 1/2 days.)

**Vocabulary**:
 * Roadblock
 * Act
 * Compromise

**Essential Question**: What roadblocks did Utah experience while trying to become a state?

**Activities**:


 * Benefits of Statehood Graphic Organizer
 * Have students fill in the graphic organizer using page 210 in the textbook. For the "Topic" have them write "Benefits of Statehood."
 * Once they are done, discuss why each of these things are benefits.


 * Roadblocks to Statehood
 * There is an attachment below for this activity. One part is the worksheet they fill in and the other part is the sheet they use to get the information from. We took these worksheets from Kimball Hadfield and there are few things that you will need to correct. On the "Stumbling Blocks to Statehood" worksheet, it says that students will use Chapter 9 - that was in the old book. Students will use Chapter 11 including the title pages to complete the questions at the top. Also there are a few different terms used on the information sheet versus the worksheet. (This will make more sense once you have seen both.) On the worksheet it says: Utah's Position and America's Position. Then on the information sheet it says: Mormons and Non-Mormons. So Utah's Position = Mormons and America's Position = Non-Mormons. I apologize for that.


 * Anti Polygamy Acts Graphic Organizer
 * Use pages 211,212 and 214 in the textbook to do this part. The worksheet is attached below. The five topics they need to cover are:
 * The Morril Anti-Bigamy Act
