Slavery Module: Lesson eight
This document provides instruction and content for a lesson on Frederick Douglass's Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass. It includes entry tasks on roots, prefixes and suffixes. The learning objectives are to analyze how excerpts from Douglass's narrative convey his position on slavery and use word roots to understand meanings. Students are instructed to reread an excerpt and answer comprehension questions to understand Douglass's story and purpose. They are then asked to explain how the excerpt supports Douglass's two positions on slavery through specific evidence. Homework involves a constructed response using a quote sandwich to fully answer the question.
