Finding Freedom invites students to follow America's journey toward
finding freedom by examining multiple perspectives, conflicts,
ideas, and challenges through seminal historical texts. This unit,
developed by Vanderbilt University's Programs for Talented Youth
and aligned to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), features
close readings of some of the most famous American political
speeches from notable Americans, presidents, and minority voices.
To sharpen historical thinking, students analyze arguments for
freedom, examine dissenting perspectives, and reason through
multiple viewpoints of historical issues through debates and
interactive activities. To develop advanced literacy skills,
students evaluate effective rhetorical appeals, claims, supporting
evidence, and techniques that advance arguments. Students
synthesize their learning by comparing speeches to each other,
relating texts to contemporary issues of today, and making
interdisciplinary connections. Lessons include close readings with
text-dependent questions, choice-based differentiated products,
rubrics, formative assessments, social studies content connections,
and ELA tasks that require argument and explanatory writing. Ideal
for pre-AP and honors courses, the unit features speeches from
Patrick Henry, Frederick Douglass, Carrie Chapman Catt, and
Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt, Lincoln, Kennedy, Johnson, George
W. Bush, Obama, and others. Grades 6-8
