Welcome Back! I hope you had a restful and warm (extended) break. First period students, sorry I am not there today but I had a long scheduled medical procedure that I could not change. Thus, you need to be diligent and independent in your work today. Here are your tasks:
First, you will be getting back into your study of the Civil War by examining what many people consider to be the most significant battle in U.S. History, the Battle of Gettysburg. Then you will explore another speech made by Abraham Lincoln in commemoration of that battle, his Gettysburg Address.
- Go to http://my-review.hrw.com/ss_2012/mmc/days_of_darkness/ which is a link from your online textbook (if the link doesn't work, go to the textbook, Chapter 11, click on eactivities, scroll down and click on the multimedia link for "Days of Darkness"). Scroll through each slide to get a sense of what happened at the Battle of Gettysburg. For those that seem interesting or if you want more information, watch the video that corresponds to the slide. You should take about 20 minutes to get through the entire presentation. Take notes of important and/or interesting facts or details as you work. Make sure to identify the significance of Pickett's Charge
- When finished read through Lincoln's entire Gettysburg Address and then print out this worksheet and answer the questions to turn in.
- If you still have time when done, your homework for tomorrow is to read and take notes from pages 362-365.
- Tomorrow we will also begin work on the Civil War Collage Project. Please read through the assignment and come tomorrow with any questions.
