US History: HW due tomorrow (Battle of New Orleans)

Here you go - the questions for your Battle of New Orleans handout.  Due tomorrow...and don't forget to study for your exam (right Melvin?!) :)


Please remember that "describe," "analyze, " compare & contrast," "imagine" all require at least a paragraph (let's say 5-7 sentences) to adequately answer the question.


Use ONLY the lyrics to the song in your answers.


And here's the link to the Lego version of the cute video I told you about, just in case you wanted to hear the banjoes again. ;)
