Your homework for Wednesday is to perform a close reading of Thomas Jefferson's First Inaugural Address.
The steps for performing a Close Reading are laid out here.
There should be evidence of having read at least two times, looking for patterns in how the speech is constructed and what makes it effective. The context in which the speech was delivered (a president representing a new political party) should be addressed in your close reading.
Finally, your read should address the question, "What was Thomas Jefferson's vision for America?"
