Differentiatedreading passages

& Uncle Tom’s cabin

I have found that integrating whenever and w herever possible is a great way tomake sure that I am addressing all of the Common Core Standards and giving mystudents enough practice to reach mastery in each skill. Since close reading is mynew favorite thing, I have decided to create differentiated close readingpassages based on different subjects that children would deem interesting, ortopics that I need to cover anyway. Many systems and states do “close reading”differently, so I have left the specifics for marking up the passage out. Insteadof having the levels on the passages w here students can see the numbers, Ihave decided to put a shape to designate w hich level it is in the top right-handcorner. They are also included in the product in this order.

A circle designates low.

A triangle designates mid.

A square designates high.

Harriet Beecher Stowe was born in 1811. She was born in the city of Litchfield in Connecticut. She was born to deeply religious parents. Her mother died when she was three. Harriet received an unusual education for the time. She attained a traditionally “male” education. It was rich in foreign languages and mathematics. Her schooling did not involve trades. Trades were typically taught to future housewives.

She continued fighting for the abolition of slavery like her siblings. She moved to the city of Cincinnati in Ohio when she was 16. There were riots in Cincinnati in 1829. Irish immigrants attacked African Americans. She confirmed a compassion for African Americans, like her family. She understood the struggles that they faced in the United States, especially with slavery. She married Calvin Ellis Stowe in 1836. Her husband was a large critic of slavery. He was a supporter of the Underground Railroad. They harbored runaway slaves together. The Fugitive Slave Law was passed in 1850. This law made it illegal to assist and harbor runaway slaves. It put them in danger.

Stowe published Uncle Tom’s Cabin in 1852. The book depicted the harsh life endured by African Americans in the South. The book focused on the character of Uncle Tom. He was a slave that had suffered for a long time. It also involved all of the characters that were involved with him. Uncle Tom’s Cabin was the second best-selling book in the 1800’s after the Bible.

The book became a play after reaching millions around the world. It greatly influenced people of the United States. It enlightened people on the horrors of slavery. It was a huge success in Great Britain. It was a huge success in the United States. It brought the hot issue of slavery to the forefront of American discussion. People were angry in the South. This is mostly because Stowe exposed many negative points about slavery. It is estimated that Abraham Lincoln met Harriet during the beginning of the Civil War. It is debated whether he announced, “This is the little lady that started this Great War.” Whether or not this was ever said can be debated. What cannot be ignored is the profound affect that that Uncle Tom’s Cabin on people’s views on slavery.
