Teaching Process for this Project
First we introduced the project and Lincoln’s reconstruction speech by reading this book to the students in order to develop a context for the assignment.
Active Reading Annotation • Question (?): Develop a question in regards to
something you don’t understand or you would like to discuss further.
• Statement (!): Write down a sentence/phrase that you feel is a strong point regarding the purpose of the reading that should be discussed.
• Relate (R): Write down something that you can relate to, whether it is a belief, an experience, another text, etc. Connect the relevance of your experience back to the text.
• Summary (S): In your own words, summarize the main point of the selection focusing on important details.
Teaching Process – Group Work for Literary Device Analysis
Tone Analysis Group Student groups were assigned
specific literacy devices to analyze. From there, students made one slide PowerPoint Presentations which they presented to the class.
Students in the audience gave feedback to the presenting groups.
The MAIN IDEA was about how Lincoln
tried to inspire the Northerners to
agree to the Reconstruction plan to
help the south.
QUOTES
• “Can Louisiana be
brought into proper
practical relation with the
Union?”
• “…elective franchise…”
WHY Repetition?
• Lincoln needed to repeat
himself because he wanted
the North to think about
reuniting the South and
North, and because what
Lincoln was saying was
important.
These quotes help Lincoln make his point because they give information
and examples.
The Main Idea of Lincoln’s speech is that we should
treat the south with respect.
Main Idea
The first quote we recognized tone is
“…on which Louisiana's government
rests , would be more satisfactory to
all if it’s contained 50,000, 30,000, or
even 20,000 than the 12,000 it does.”.
The tone is high and gets lower as it
goes along.
The second one is “will it be wiser to
take it as it is ,and help to improve it;
or to reject, and disperse it .”.Its tone
goes up and down repeatedly.
