Students Having a Study Session<\/p><\/div>\n

On Monday the students headed back to the classroom to continue their studies. They dove into “Mission of the War”<\/a> (1864) by Frederick Douglass, “Perils of the Hour”<\/a> (1864) by Anna Dickinson, and “Blind Memorandum”<\/a> (1864) by Abraham Lincoln. During this lecture, the students also received their teams for the Lincoln-Douglass debate on the final day of the seminar. Professor Pinsker flipped a coin to determine which team of students would defend the viewpoints of the moderate Abraham Lincoln, and which would argue for the radical strategies of Frederick Douglass. After some insightful discussion in their small group sessions, they headed to the cafeteria for lunch. In the afternoon, they listened intently as the graduate TA’s led them through a session on their Close Reading projects, which would be due just 24 hours later. They also reconvened with their teams and their assigned TA’s to strategize for the upcoming debate.<\/p>\n

Monday evening was calm. Nearly every student worked diligently to make significant progress on their assignments, with all hands on deck from the seminar staff to ensure they received thorough guidance. This week will be busy as students wrap up their Close Reading assignments, head to Washington D.C. on Wednesday, and prepare for the intense Lincoln-Douglass debates at the end of the week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
