Ulysses S. Grant
Differentiated
Reading Passages
Created By:Bow Tie Guy
2015
I have found that integrating whenever and w herever possible is a great way tomake sure that I am addressing all of the Common Core Standards and giving mystudents enough practice to reach mastery in each skill. Since close reading is mynew favorite thing, I have decided to create differentiated close readingpassages based on different subjects that children would deem interesting, ortopics that I need to cover anyway. Many systems and states do “close reading”differently, so I have left the specifics for marking up the passage out. Insteadof having the levels on the passages w here students can see the numbers, Ihave decided to put a shape to designate w hich level it is in the top right-handcorner. They are also included in the product in this order.
A circle designates low.
A triangle designates mid.
A square designates high.

Hiram Ulysses Grant was born in a tiny one-room house in the city of Point Pleasant in Ohio. It
was April 27th, 1822. Ulysses was named after a famous hero and warrior from ages ago. He grew up
working in his father’s tannery shop. His father turned animal skins into many types of leather. The
process was not pleasant. It smelled. It was messy. It was full of disgust. Ulysses did not enjoy working
with his father. He was ready to do any other job though.
Ulysses attended military school in West Point, New York. West Point sits on the hills high above
the Hudson River. There was confusion as to who he was upon reporting to the officers in charge. They
thought he was Ulysses S. Grant. They didn’t think he was Hiram Ulysses Grant. The name Ulysses S.
Grant stuck. He graduated in June of 1843.
Ulysses received orders in May of 1844 to report to Louisiana. It was during this time when
discussions between friends would result in disagreements about the subject of slavery. Grant did own a
slave but realized slavery was wrong and freed the slave in 1859. This idea followed Ulysses throughout
the rest of his life. The United States was about to enter a war. He fought in the Mexican-American war
until its end in the fall of 1847.
Grant married his wife Julia on August 22, 1848. Grant would return to duty in Detroit Michigan
weeks later. Ulysses was alone in the Pacific Northwest for two years (1852-1854). He had more children.
He missed a lot of time with them due to his service.
President Abraham Lincoln thought that Northern generals were the “slows.” Northern generals
lacked a fighting spirit. They would avoid battle if possible. Ulysses led his men to attack a rebel camp in
the city of Belmont in Missouri in November of 1861. Lincoln was looking at him for the position of general.
After many successes, Ulysses was promoted to major general. He fought in one of the bloodiest battles
in April of 1862. It was called the Battle of Shiloh. He mentioned that he could walk all the way across
the field on the battle on dead bodies alone. When asked about Ulysses, Abraham Lincoln replied, “He
fights.” In October of 1863, Grant was in charge of over half of the Union army. He was in charge of
the entire Union army in March of 1864. The South surrendered to the Union on April 9th, 1865.
Ulysses S. Grant became president of the United States on March 4, 1869. He supported voting
rights and civil rights. His slogan during the election was “Let there be peace.” He was reelected in 1872.
He died on July 23rd of 1885.
