Essential Questions 1. How does an artist use his or her craft to reveal a political message? 2. What principles outlined in the Constitution align or are in opposition to the artist’s message? 3. How did the artist’s purpose for creating the painting impact the overall message?

I will be able to… Cite specific evidence to support analysis of primary and secondary sources. Identify aspects of a text that reveals an author’s point of view or purpose. Cite textual evidence that most strongly supports analysis of what a text explicitly states and what can be implied using context clues.

Task Reminder Task: You have been selected to be part of a group to determine whether the artist’s political message displayed in the image is one that justifies its display in its Washington D.C. location. To determine this, you must critically analyze the image, determine the artists intended message, determine the author’s use of his craft to portray that message, and lastly, determine if the painting portrays the spirit of the Constitution and the Constitutional Convention of 1787. Question: Should Christy’s painting remain on display in Washington, D.C. or should it be replaced?

How do we retrieve information? Make observations Make inferences Ask questions How do we support our inferences? TEXT! Painting--Scene at the Signing of the Constitution of the United States Constitution Packets Delegate Packets Delegates v. Signers List

Model—William Jackson, Secretary Observations: What do you see? Wearing red—stands out Holding up a hand and has something in his other hand Central in the image Looking at the viewer Same color as carpet—carpet on the “stage” Inference: What do you think it means? Since he was the secretary, he probably wrote down the notes, and his writings are why we know what happened at the Convention. That makes him “central” to the meeting. Question: Did he object to anything in the document, or is he raising his hand in agreement? Text Excerpts: What specific textual evidence supports or refutes my inference? A secretary was hired to keep a record of the proceedings. His records were lost. But Madison sat close to the front, never missed a session, and copied down all the speeches. James Madison has been called the Father of the Constitution. (Hakim, 164) In all, thirty-nine delegates, designated the Founding Fathers by a grateful nation, signed the Constitution in September 1787. But in fact a fortieth name appears on that historic document, that of William Jackson, the secretary of the Convention, whose signature authenticated the results of the sessions in Philadelphia. Although Jackson lacked the delegates’ right to debate and vote on the issues, he was clearly at one with those who manifested a strong dissatisfaction with the weakness of the central government under the Articles of Confederation. (Teaching American History. Org)

Directions Refer to the observations you made in column 1 yesterday (What do you see?) Begin drawing inferences based on your observations of the painting. Write these inferences in column 2 (What do you think it means?) Support or refute your inferences using specific text evidence. Note the evidence in column 3 (What specific textual evidence helps to support or refute your interpretation?) If you are having difficulty supporting or refuting the inferences, what information do you need to know? Write any questions that you have on the whiteboard. You will have an opportunity during this activity to ask questions to other students. At that point, if other students cannot find specific text evidence to address your question, you will be able to use technology to research.
