President Wilson's Inaugural Addresses Primary Source Analysis Activity

Students will read, analyze, and compare and contrast Woodrow Wilson's First Inaugural Address and Second Inaugural Address by answering 31 questions, filling out a 16 item analysis graphic organizer, and completing 2 extension tasks. 

The answers are included where appropriate and this would be great for a sub! See the preview for a closer look!

Sample questions include:
--How does Wilson see America as being set apart from other countries?
--Inferring from prior knowledge, explain the “cost” to focusing on effective means of production.
--Why doesn’t Wilson want to take too much time reflecting on the last four years?
--Explain why his intention wasn’t able to match the reality.
--Summarize the main point of the 4th paragraph.
--On what grounds can, or will, Wilson succeed?
--What is being “forged” and why/how?
--Does it sound like the same president delivered both speeches, why or why not?
