Lincoln/Douglass Part I

During the first part of class, we'll spend some time discussing Lincoln's "First Inaugural Address". Next, individually, we'll read Frederick Douglass' editorials "Nemesis" and "How to End the War" and filling in the corresponding part of the chart.

After selecting partners, we'll do an activity that will allow us to put Lincoln and Douglass into dialogue with each other. You'll make a simple chart, with quotations from Lincoln and Douglass on similar topics. With your partner, you'll practice saying them out loud, considering: tone / mood / attitude / which words to emphasize.

Remaining time will be work time for tonight's homework.
