Today in class we took a quiz on Chapter 11, Sec. 4. We then talked about the significance of the Battle of Gettysburg and watched the clip, "A New Birth of Freedom" from Ken Burns' The Civil War that introduced us to the Gettysburg Address. We used this WORKSHEET to frame our discussion of the speech and took notes in our Lincoln portfolios as we discussed. We finished by creating our own reading of the Address that we submitted to learntheaddress.org, Ken Burns' project to honor the 150th anniversary of the Address by having as many people as possible film themselves reading it. Here is the link to our version of the Address on Ken Burns' website.
