One effective way to do this is to locate key features (cities, rivers, mountain ranges, etc.) to better understand what the maps are telling you. For example: since the war between the US and Mexico started over a dispute between the southern boundary of Texas, you\u2019ll need to locate the two rivers in question\u2014the Nueces River and the Rio Grand River (also referred to as Rio del Norte or Rio Bravo)\u2014and trace their extent to see how establishing one or the other as the international boundary would affect the size of the territory claimed by each country.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"cursor: auto;\"><span style=\"font-size: 0.95rem; cursor: auto;\">When giving your speech, be sure to make specific references to the map images you used on your slides.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"cursor: auto;\"><span style=\"font-size: 0.95rem; cursor: auto;\">When determining the points you want to make in your speech, consider things like:<span style=\"cursor: auto;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/span>\n<ul style=\"cursor: auto;\">\n<li style=\"cursor: auto;\"><span style=\"font-size: 0.95rem; cursor: auto;\">What advantages was your character\u2019s side trying to achieve by claiming that boundary?<span style=\"cursor: auto;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"cursor: auto;\"><span style=\"font-size: 0.95rem; cursor: auto;\">What historical claims were used to justify one boundary versus the other?<span style=\"cursor: auto;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"cursor: auto;\"><span style=\"font-size: 0.95rem; cursor: auto;\">How do land claims of Native Americans factor into this debate?<span style=\"cursor: auto;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"cursor: auto;\"><span style=\"font-size: 0.95rem; cursor: auto;\">If your side wins the dispute, what does your country plan to do with that territory?&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><br style=\"cursor: auto;\"><br style=\"cursor: auto;\"><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For this assignment you will use&nbsp;Manifest Destiny (Chapter 12) from the textbook&nbsp;(pay special attention to &#8220;Section IV: Texas, Mexico, and the United States&#8221;) and the maps embedded below to create a 2-minute speech and PowerPoint slideshow highlighting your main points, then record a video of you delivering the presentation.&nbsp; First, write a script for your [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"disciplines":[30],"paper_types":[],"tagged":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.writemyessays.app\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/questions\/19696"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.writemyessays.app\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/questions"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.writemyessays.app\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/questions"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.writemyessays.app\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.writemyessays.app\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19696"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.writemyessays.app\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/questions\/19696\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.writemyessays.app\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19696"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"disciplines","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.writemyessays.app\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/disciplines?post=19696"},{"taxonomy":"paper_types","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.writemyessays.app\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/paper_types?post=19696"},{"taxonomy":"tagged","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.writemyessays.app\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tagged?post=19696"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
