THE

JFK

LIBR

ARY

In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility—I welcome it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it—and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.

And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.

My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.

nit Supporting Text 1—First Reading: Independent

Before Reading

1. For the first read, let the class know that they will be reading for meaning. Explain that they will think about the following questions as they read:

• What is this text about? • What do I think about this text? • What questions do I have? 2. Next, tell the class you will show them one way to read for meaning. It is

called coding the text. As they read, they will “read with a pencil”—writing their thoughts and ideas relevant to the questions listed above. Encourage students to note main ideas and details, words or phrases that are powerful, and words or phrases that are confusing. Students may write words or phrases, or they may use a code, such as m for main idea or ? for confusing.

3. Model how to code the text by writing on sticky notes and placing them on a sheet of chart paper that represents a page of text.

During Reading

1. Distribute JFK’s Inaugural Address and sticky notes to students. 2. Tell students that they will now independently begin coding the text. • For below-level learners and English language learners, print copies of

the text from the Digital Resource CD and have students write directly on the text. Students should circle powerful words or phrases and underline parts that are confusing. This can help them keep their thoughts organized.

After Reading

1. Distribute copies of the My First Thoughts activity sheet (page 21) to students. 2. Have students complete the activity sheet independently. 3. As a class, discuss student responses. You may want to have students place

their sticky notes on a class chart similar to the activity sheet.

Progress Check: During Step 3, listen for students asking and answering questions to demonstrate understanding of the text, referring explicitly to the text as the basis for the answers.

Standards • CCSS Reading:

Ask and answer questions to demonstrate understanding of a text, referring explicitly to the text as the basis for the answers.

• CCSS Writing: Recall information from experiences or gather information from print and digital sources; take brief notes on sources and sort evidence into provided categories.

• Content: Understand historical figures who believed in the fundamental democratic values and the significance of these people both in their historical context and today.

• Language: Communicate information, ideas, and concepts necessary for academic success in the area of Social Studies.
