Memorize the Gettysburg Address

i have to do this , im in 6th grade and tomorrow (monday) i have to recite it! i cant memorize it

four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation. Concieved in liberty, dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

(first line of) GETTYSBURG ADDRESS
(Abraham Lincon, 1864)

I did it!!!!! I memorized the gettysburg address in less than a week and got a 48\50 because I couldn’t remember the word resolve. I tried so hard and I did it!! I got an 82% on the test and plus the G.A. points I got an 132%!!!!! Is that possible? But I only got an A- in Social Studies. That was my only test for that period, so I must have sucked on some of the worksheets. Curse the word RESOLVE!!!!!!!

I had to do this in eighth grade, Monk’s history class. Still remember almost all of it, nothing a little look-over wouldn’t fix. What a great speech.

I had to do this in 7th or 8th grade, and recite it to the class. Was kinda fun, and I still remember most of it, the middle is a little fuzzy. :P

I had to do this for class a few years ago. I can’t remember any of it now and don’t see the point of learning it. I do think you should read it and think about what it says but there is no need to memorize it.

Not much of a “memorizer”. But had to do it for class. Can recite only small snippets of it now…

I just printed in out, and plan on trying to memorize it. Just for personal reasons. It’s not very long at all. I think it should be fairly easy to do.
