The Address: A Film by Ken Burns and Lesson Plan Set

  • Activity, Discussion Questions, Lesson Plan, Rubric, Video
This 90-minute film tells the story of a school in Vermont where each year students are encouraged to practice, memorize and recite the Gettysburg Address. In its exploration of this practice, the film also unlocks the history, context and importance of President Abraham Lincoln’s memorable speech. The Address explores how Lincoln’s historic words can motivate and engage present-day students a century-and-a-half after he delivered a speech that ultimately emboldened the Union cause with some of the more stirring words ever spoken.
