  1. At each of the 4 stations: • Write the station number on your separate sheet of paper (the station number is on a sticky note on the folder) • Read the handout • Follow the directions of the directions sheet • When the bell goes off, find a new station, AND SIT NEXT TO TWO NEW PEOPLE

  2. Emancipation Proclamation (1863) • Write the definitions of each word next to the title in your own words: Emancipation: to free from restraint, control, or the power of another Proclamation: A public or official announcement

  3. Make a prediction • Read the title of the piece and predict what you think it is about.

  4. Circle key words • Skim the text and circle words that are repeated or that seem important.

  5. Add to your prediction • Based on what you saw as you skimmed the text, add to your prediction.

  6. Drop your pencil/pen • Do a cold read of this article. Just read! Don’t take any notes.

  7. Underline the main ideas • Read the article and underline what you think the main point is of each paragraph. • What is Lincoln “proclaiming” or announcing about slaves? About Confederate states? About border states?

  8. Write in the margins • Read the text and write in the margin for each paragraph: • Your reaction to what the author is saying • Something that the paragraph reminds you of • A question you have • A summary of the author’s point

  9. With your group, write in your own words: “I do order and declare that all persons held as slaves within said designated States, and parts of States, are, and henceforward shall be free…”

  10. With your group, write in your own words: “…and that the Executive government of the United States, including the military and naval authorities thereof, will recognize and maintain the freedom of said persons.”

  11. With your group, write in your own words: “And I hereby enjoin upon the people so declared to be free to abstain from all violence, unless in necessary self-defense…”

  12. With your group, write in your own words: “And I further declare and make known, that such persons of suitable condition, will be received into the armed service of the United States to garrison, forts, positions, stations, and other places, and to man vessels of all sorts in said service.”

  13. Exit Tickets: Final Questions • Why was this presidential proclamation such a major moment in US history? • Can you think of anything important that Lincoln left out of his proclamation?

  14. Identify the person you chose: • Factory worker from the North

  15. Prepare a brief biography of your person: • Jim, an immigrant from Ireland, came to the United States when he was 3 years old. He started working in a factory that makes fabric at the age of 7. He is now 20, and he works at the same factory, trying to make enough money to support his wife and two young children.

  16. Speaking as that person, explain how you would have viewed slavery: • Having worked hard for very little pay all my life, I feel like slaves are in an even worse situation than I am. It is not right to make someone work for no pay at all.

  17. Speaking as that person, explain whether or not you would have supported the Emancipation Proclamation and why. • Even though slavery is wrong, I worry about the Emancipation Proclamation. Slavery is an important part of the economy. I do not mind if they are freed, but I do not want them to come north and take away all of the good jobs that we true Americans need.

  18. State one argument that a person from one of the other groups would have given in response to your point of view: • As a slave, I can tell you that no man, no matter what color his skin, can truly be the property of another. Slaves are not things; they are people, and they are Americans.

  19. Exit Ticket Write a paragraph summarizing what you learned today about the Civil War.
