Two viewpoints worksheet:
http://www.k12reader.com/worksheet/two-viewpoints-lee-surrenders-to-grant-1865/
Please do not write on the handout.

We are going to make a T-chart to compare the visual and written account of the same event and then turn it into writing.

Column 1:Describe what you see in the painting with as much detail as you can. Make note of the positioning of the people and their facial expressions.
Column 2: Write down as many details as you can as given in the writing sample.

Next, use your T-chart to answer the question at the bottom of the page. Try to write at least 3-4 sentences.

Lastly, Answer the questions below.
1. What do you think it means when it says General Lee had an "impassible" face? What lines helped you come to this conclusion?
2. Does the picture support your meaning in #1? Why or why not?
3. What does General Lee's attire tell you about his status in life? Give details as support.
4. Contrast General Lee's appearance with that of the narrator. What does this tell you about their differences in status?
5. What do you think the narrator's general opinion of General Lee is? How do you know?
