In this resource, students will engage with video clips that introduce students to the Gettysburg Address, highlight students of The Greenwood School analyzing the speech, and discuss the road to the Battle of Gettysburg and its impact on the war. Students will interact with these videos to learn about the Battle of Gettysburg and the significance of the Gettysburg Address. After viewing the curated clips, students will craft their own presentations analyzing the historical significance of a specific section of the Gettysburg Address with the goal of explaining to their peers what this section meant and why it is important.
