Students had a quickwrite on the Monroe Doctrine. It shows the Monroe Doctrine through a cartoon about chickens. Some chickens are labeled to help understand which nations are cooped up and which nations are running free under the American rooster. After the students made a hypothesis on what they thought the Monroe doctrine was they were given small passages from it. America was slowly changing its isolationist policy established under Washington and taking a stance in global issues. While America didn't really have the strength to back up what it said, it stood up for Latin American nations being recolonized. America would hold on to this policy over time when issues arise in Latin America.
