ABOUT THIS READER
This passage presents two accounts of the Great Chicago Fire of 1871: a firsthand diary entry and a secondhand newspaper article. Students can compare and contrast the personal, emotional narrative of Sarah Johnson with the factual, overview-style report from the Chicago Tribune. The firsthand account vividly describes the immediate danger and panic, while the secondhand account provides broader context, including the fire's cause, extent, and historical significance. This comparison helps students understand different perspectives on historical events and improves their ability to analyze various types of informational texts, aligning with CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.4.6 standards.
