September+12+11

We'll complete a short MEAP review/preparation activity.
 * As the Bell Rings...**

First, we must finish where we left off Friday with analyzing primary sources based on the "**//Text, Context, Subtext//** procedure. We learned the importance of seeking the definitions of words we don't know. If we don't understand words in the "text", we fail to take critical information from the source and we are left //wallowing in our ignorance// (that's bad...).
 * What We Did In Class** [[image:Text,_Context,_Subtext.png align="right" height="150" link="http://mrbruceshistory.wikispaces.com/file/view/Text%2C_Context%2C_Subtext.png/252985452/Text%2C_Context%2C_Subtext.png" caption="click to enlarge"]]

Today we will uncover the meanings of Context and Subtext and practice these analysis skills in class using one of the following documents:
 * [|Letter from Elias Boudinot to Jacob Burnett]
 * [|Letter from Henry Clay to John Switzer]

Read the following documents (click to download) and work to learn the definitions to any words that get in your way:
 * Homework**
 * **[|Abraham Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address]**
 * **[|Jefferson Davis' Inaugural Address]**
