We did a CLOSE READ on a primary source from the famous Pericles' Funeral Speech.  We spent a lot of time on this speech to understand it better and then students wrote a similar speech about America dedicated to our dead soldiers and what they fought for.  That homework assignment is on Edmodo.  Make sure to click the TURN IN button.
