An Occurrence and Civil War Nonfiction

Period 1: finish reading the civil war non fiction texts on the front board. Then read the non fiction text on "Gettysburg". On a piece of loose leaf paper, summarize each nonfiction text, write an analysis of each speaker and write a paragraph on the purpose of each text. Turn this in by the end of the period. It will be graded.

Period 8: finish reading " An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge".  Summarize the events of the tale from Farquhar's perspective. Then, explain how a union soldier who was present at the bridge would perceive the events of the tale. Be sure to write this on a piece of loose leaf paper that you will turn in by the end of the period.
