Dual Freedoms

In this comparative writing activity, students read a short passage about Independence Day and Juneteenth, then write a paragraph comparing the two holidays. Learners examine how each represents different aspects of freedom, who benefited, and how Americans celebrate them today. The exercise strengthens reading comprehension, analytical writing, and historical understanding.
