Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl is Harriet Jacobs' autobiographical account of her life as a slave and her struggle to gain freedom. The novel explores themes of slavery, freedom, religion, and history during the time period when slavery was legal in the American South.

The document provides a comparison of the French and American Revolutions through examining their causes, key events, leaders, and outcomes. Both revolutions saw the population rise up against unfair taxation and desire independence from their monarch. Though the American Revolution primarily sought political change while keeping social structures, the French Revolution aimed to overhaul government, social class, religion, and economy. In the end, both revolutions were ultimately successful in gaining independence for their nations.

Literature circle

DupingLoves2Share

Literature circles involve small temporary discussion groups where students read and discuss the same work of literature. Each member takes on specific roles during discussions such as summarizer, illustrator, or discussion leader. The circles meet regularly with changing roles to engage students in rich conversations about the text. Teachers facilitate but do not lead discussions. Benefits include opportunities for all students to participate, actively construct meaning, and learn analytic strategies by practicing different roles that show literature can have multiple perspectives. Assessments include reflection on ideas learned, contributions of group members, and ways to improve discussions.

Harlem+Renaissance

cbrownell

The Harlem Renaissance from 1919-1940 saw many black Americans migrating to northern cities like New York, settling in neighborhoods like Harlem. This influx created a need for black Americans to establish their own cultural identity separate from white society. Writers and artists emerged seeking to define this identity through literature and art. Figures like Alain Locke and W.E.B. Du Bois promoted using black talent and the arts to gain recognition and social acceptance, though there were differing views on how directly to address issues of race. The movement helped bring wider publishing and success for black creators.

The Harlem Renaissance emerged in the 1920s as a rejection of earlier African American literary traditions that either protested social conditions or promoted racial integration. It produced an enormous amount of diverse literature, including poetry, fiction, drama and essays by a group of writers who called themselves the "New Negro Movement." While related to the modernist movement through questions of marginality and use of folk material, the Harlem Renaissance maintained a distinct tradition from Western literature, seeking to build racial consciousness and work towards progressive ideals rather than just use innovative forms. It attempted to gain means of expressing the full complexity of the African American experience through representing both individual and social perspectives.
