I hope this post finds you all feeling holly and jolly :) I wonder how your essay outlines are coming along?
Remember your Twitter projects? Most of them were good, and I was pleased with those of you who really showed analysis of the passages. Let's continue with a similar activity.
To receive credit, you will need a total of two posts that do NOT copy what has already been said. Yes, your posts should show analysis, not simple regurgitation of facts.
You will post a "tweet" of one of the primary source passages you read, from that historical figure's first-person point of view. You may use any of the passages, including ones you read for extra credit. You may go back to A Modell of Christian Charity, and the passages from the beginning of the year! :)
Stick to Twitter rules: 140 characters or less, including spaces and punctuation. In other words, you will tweet the reading passage as if you were the author of that passage.
Here is an example with only 112 characters to get you started:
AbeLincoln (Emancipation Proclamation, 1863) :
I proclaim all slaves in rebelling states are now and
forever set free! The North now fights
for a moral cause!
Henry george (progress and poverty- 1879)
ReplyDeleteBy increasing the inventions thinking that it would improve the condition of the laborer. When in fact it increased poverty. More comfort and leisure was gained ? Sure but the lower class does not enjoy it... . By taxing land it will help a bit and it will be just . So let's work together as a nation to get passed this !
Abraham Lincoln (gettysburg address)
ReplyDelete- this civil war we are fighting right now is testing our nations strength. Let's keep on fighting for what the brave men died in order to achieve: freedom and a government ruled by the people!
Frederick Douglas:Americans are Hypocrites! Their beloved constitution says everyone should be free so why aren't the slaves!We have as many rights as whites do!
ReplyDeleteHarriet Beecher Stowe (Uncle Tom's Cabin)
ReplyDelete@Harriet_BS (Tom Speaking) I still remember her poor face. A face that showed such sorrow and lost, her baby was gone. "You couldn't have raised it anyway," he told her. How can a mother not raise her own child?
Henry David Thoreau (Walden 1854)
ReplyDelete@Hippies_FoLife You work, and work, and work! But are you Happy? No! :I Live yo life man! Take a break dudeeeeee! Geez. " Why should we live in such a hurry and waste life?" #Simplicity
Frederick Douglas (Small Excerpts)
ReplyDelete@Fred.Doug Life as a slave has many hardships! Slaves deserve to be treated equally as said in our constitution and Declaration of Independence. We are all equal, and should be treated like that!
Henry George (Progress and Poverty)
ReplyDelete@H.George When will you be able to live your life. Your supposed to be free and just live life, and not worry about hard work. Take a break sometimes maan!
"The Cult of True Womanhood: 1820-1860 "
ReplyDelete@BarbaraWel A woman is the example for the family to follow therefore she should be pure and holy.The man is in charge & has the last word which a woman would always obey wether is right or wrong
George Washington's Farewell Address
ReplyDelete@WashinGee
This country which I will always care for has the love of freedom engraved in their hearts. There is no way a united goverment will take place unless liberty is allowed. Be proud of been American and work as a nation because you all depend on each other
The Cotton Kingdom
ReplyDelete@FreddyLaw-O: It's sad seeing how poorly the whites in the south live, it's nothing compared to the north. I expected something totally different :/
Address to the Wolf....
ReplyDelete@PrezTommyJ: Our founding fathers have raised our nation after much triumph, and us citizens of the United States of America must stick together and love each other!
The Lowell Textile Workers:
ReplyDelete@Mary_P: Working in a factory does not automatically label you as "damaged goods." A woman's virtue and family name can still be respected.
George Washington's Farewell Address
ReplyDelete@1StPersident_ We must stay united because as individuals we will fall. Working together can get us anywhere, it got us our independence right?
(The Liberator, 1831)
ReplyDelete@Willy_GEE: I will do everything in my power to make this nation slavery-free! I will not stand and watch others be restrained in shackles!
(The Cotton Kingdom, 1861)
ReplyDelete@Freddy_Law_O: I am truly puzzled by how much hard work one Southerner can put into one day, yet remain so poor. How can this be?!
A.Lincoln(Gettysburg Address, 1863):
ReplyDeleteI now address that the focus of the Civil War is to preserve the Union and its Democracy, too promote the eqality and the liberty of all our citizens including those so called slaves.
Frederick Douglass(Oration Delivered in Corithian Hall):
ReplyDeleteFor us the Black or the Slave the 4th of July equals mourn and saddness, while fo the white it represents rejoice and happiness. We cannot celebrate such thing when the result of it, is us being the victim.
(The Cotton Kingdom, 1861)
ReplyDelete@FLO: The South is so different from what I expected! Not many people are as rich as I once thought, and many of them don't like slaves. How odd!
(Speech to the Anti-Slavery Association)
ReplyDelete@Fred.Doug: Henry Clay wants us colored folk to go back to Africa! We have as much right as they do to stay here! This country would rot without us Negroes!
(the cotton kingdom)
ReplyDelete@fred_theLAW: "Are there many people here who think slavery a curse to the country?"
