Students will analyze 2 accounts from the Battle of Antietam from the Civil War and answer 15 questions, including comparing the accounts. They will then complete two extension tasks. The answers are included where appropriate and this would be great for a sub!
Sample questions include:
--Inferring from the text, describe the difference in the civilian wartime experiences pre-battlefield photographs and after photographers started taking those pictures and making them accessible to the public.
--What was the status of the battle when Hitchcock arrived? How might it have affected his mindset?
--Explain the meaning of the phrase "presaged fearful work" in your own words.
--What kind of sense does the phrase "the joy of conflict" make in the context of a battle?
--How do these two accounts compare to each other? Is one more of what you expect in a battle account than the other? Why or why not?
