This course will become read-only in the near future. Tell us at community.p2pu.org if that is a problem.
Students working to become power users on Youth Voices conduct short-term and in-depth research projects, doing close readings of multi-modal and multi-cultural resources.
Each of the three tasks asks the student to cite strong and through textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text.
Students develop and demonstrate their close reading through a careful use of annotations, dialectical notetaking, APA or MLA citations, and hyperlinking to sources.
Find 3 or 4 journal articles, reports, or scholarly studies on your inquiry. Add them to the Youth Voices Crocodoc Folder, then read and annotate each of them. These sources should have high-levels text complexity and be academic.
Use Dialectical Notes. Later, you will be linking your notes and articles at the bottom of your post.
Use Quizlet to build your vocabulary using words from these articles.
For this task, choose one of the following places to go deeper with your research:

In Michael Jay Friedman essay, "Lincoln As Emancipator," the author in this book is discussing Abraham Lincoln as an great emancipator some people thought he was an opportunist also thought he lagged behind the abolitionist movement.the author also wants these readers to know why lincoln freed the slaves and what he believed in. lincoln didn't believe that white and blacks should live together.
When we consider the issue of lincoln some might wonder why he freed the slaves? Michael Jay Friedman ‘s essay addresses this question because he explains that he wanted to free the slaves because he wanted black african american slaves a military necessity for the civil war also he wanted to take labor force from the south and wanted a stronger union.lincoln really had his goal set on freeing the slaves because without freeing the slave he would have lost the war and he wouldn't have war supplies to fight in the war.
“In July, with Union armies stalled, the president quietly informed leading cabinet members
that he now viewed emancipation as a military necessity”(Friedman, 50).
This is basically saying that lincoln wanted to make a stronger union so in order to make a stronger union he had to make a bigger union and there wasn't enough soldiers for that that so in the emancipation formed he stated that the african american people had to be a military necessity and had to fight in the civil war.
This might make one wonder did Abraham Lincoln free the slave because he felt bad or did he free the slave for the war the author argues that he freed the slave for a stronger union to fight the war in need of more people and in need of war supplies so lincoln had no choice.it was either free the slaves or go trought a depression.
Another point Friedman makes in his essay "Enslaved blacks now comprised a majority of the
Confederacy’s labor force. Drawing them to the Union cause would simultaneously strengthen the North’s war effort and weaken that of its Confederate opponent” This is both good and bad because they wasn't freeing the slaves because they care the was freeing the slaves to win the war and use them to their best abilities which is to enforce labor force and thats the bad part also they wanted to strengthen the north and take the slave that was making supplies for the south to the north.
A third point addressed by Friedman is: "Even as a growing number of northern whites came to support abolition, many who opposed it and fought only to preserve the Union could see how freeing the slaves might prove decisive on the battlefield.” This is significant, because even the whites from the north started to support the fact of freeing the slaves and not only that the people that still didn't think the slaves should be free can see how strong its going to make when time for war.
Some might agree with Friedman that lincoln freed the slaves because he cared for the slaves and didn't like how the were being treated One reason is because lincoln made it happen and freed the slaves now matter what the slaves had to do to be freed he freed them .Another reason some might disagree with Friedman is because of that fact that he freed the slaves just because he wanted to make the union stronger he wanted to build his army to win the war.
What we can appreciate about this writer's work is he tells you detail from detail what going on and why its happening and the year and the slaves opinion on how the slaves felt back then in the 1800’s when reading the emaicaptor. We can look forward to seeing what he writes next because he gives great details pictures and helps you understands new vocabulary words also is very understanding on what hes talking about
