Items related to History Speaks : Gettysburg Address
Synopsis
The study of the Gettysburg Address is a great way to introduce young history students in grades 4-8 to one of the most eloquent arguments in history for American democracy. Here students come face to face with Lincoln's writing and primary source material. This reproducible book provides activities for students to investigate this speech, as well as place it in the larger context of events that led to its writing.
Six activities, each with two parts--narrative and review, will help students understand Lincoln, the Battle of Gettysburg and how this address was received in contemporary accounts.
For too many students, history was then and this is now. The implications, the lessons and the relevance of past events are never discovered because that door is slammed shut before it is every fully opened.
This series involved students in examining historical documents and understanding their impact on our present lives.
