A.A.C.T.+-+Levi+Owens

My name is Levi Owens.

**Characterization**: How does Lincoln characterize the soldiers who died during the Battle of Gettysburg? Support your answer. He mentions them repeatedly and respectfully about how they struggled. * Write one more sentence telling what the soldiers struggled for and what we should do because of their deaths.

**Evidence/ Inference**: What inferences can you make about Lincoln’s hopes for the future of the United States? What evidence supports your answer? He wanted slaves to be free, because he talks about growing new freedom "new birth of freedom" -- yes

**Theme/Concept**: What does Lincoln’s address say about the concept of liberty? liberty was not followed because we had slavery in our country, so they didn't treat people equally

**Paraphrasing**: In your own words, paraphrase Lincoln’s statement, “It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced.” to continue to fight slavery (for liberty -1/2) until it is gone from the country

**Summarizing**: In 2-4 sentences, summarize the message Lincoln is trying to convey to the American people. These people fought for freedom and we should honor them and help their families. We should continue to fight ( for freedom -1/2) slavery because these people were fighting for that.

**Creative Synthesis**: Pretend you are a stakeholder from the audience (e.g. mother/ father/ sibling of a soldier, a soldier, a congressional leader, the secretary of war, etc.) who has just heard “The Gettysburg Address.” How would you react to the message of Lincoln’s speech? Create a reaction to “The Gettysburg Address.” Write a paragraph with 6 or more sentences. You could go off to war if you are a man. I would want to stop slavery. Women could make food and clothing for the soldiers. People could buy slaves and bring them north and set them free. Teachers could talk about it in school to the children they teach. People could protest with signs that say something like "stop slavery."
