Harriet and the Narrative of Frederick Douglass Reflection Analysis

Prompt: After viewing Harriet, and reading The Narrative of Frederick Douglass, write a reflection that has an INTRODUCTION paragraph. Then your response should focus on two big ideas: (1) What did you learn or how did viewing a film reinforce ideas read in The Narrative of Frederick Douglass?

Then pick one of these ideas: How did gender influence life as a slave?  How does the film Harriet and The Narrative of Frederick Douglass humanize slaves?  How did slaves contribute to the economic fabric of the United States? How did the culture that the African-Americans create influence the culture of the United Staes as a whole? Or, even though the North outlawed slavery, how did the north benefit early on from slavery? Or what connects do you see between the fugitive slave act and policing? 

Third section of your reflection: Construct 8 specific and thematic questions that you have or would like to learn or explore in your history or English or economics class. 

Your reflection must be well planned and brainstormed. Then the final must be at least two pages and must be submitted today. You are able to use notes. 

The Legacy of Frederick Douglass

 Today we will: reflect on the IXL Assessments noting what was difficult about the assessment? Which items do you need more practice? Then, we will examine the legacy of the Narrative of Frederick Douglass by a brief discussion online by Padlet.  Finally, we will begin Day #1 of Harriet. 

IXL Assessments

 Today, we must work on and complete at least ONE of TWO IXL Assessments. We will be working on: Tracing An Argument Questions Set #1 and Tracing An Argument Question Set #2. Please take these assessments seriously.   We will finish the first today and on Monday, we will finish the second. We will then resume Frederick Douglass. 

Appreciating Frederick Douglass

 Now that we have finished The Narrative, we will re-explore the life, accomplishments and importance of Frederick Douglass. First we will read and discuss a poem written in his honor. Then, we will review his biography and summarize his accomplishments. Lastly, we will read a speech by Mr. Douglass as we prepare to create a timeline of the most important events in his life, and prepare to identify themes in his story.

Asynchronous Assignments: Anticipation Guide; Drama Terms; How to Read A Play; SOAPS on

 Today and over our holiday, we are responsible for completing and discussing the Crucible Anticipation Guide; finishing the Crucible powerpoint, paying particular attention to what we can still learn about The Crucible; review drama terms, read, "How to Read Drama; Close Read the Text; and about Arthur Miller in Facing Our Fears Unit on pages 558-561.  We will also read in class, This psychologist explains why people confess to crimes they didnt commit.  We will complete a SOAPS Analysis and create levels of questions: two of each. 

Resources for Reading The Crucible

Although we will read Arthur Miller's play, The Crucible, reading this time will no doubt be different, as you will not have a physical text. Here are pointers and resources to help us get through it: 

1. Read. Even when Ms. Guy or other students read, or we listen, please make sure to read along with the text. 

2. Re-read. That is right. Re-read for homework. 

3. Listen. Here is a link to an audio version of the text: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v57nVxOMhsM it allows us to both see and hear the text as it is being read. 

4. Annotate. Download important sections and use Kami or HYPOTHESIS to annotate the text. 

5. Answer comprehension questions & participate in class discussions in chat. This helps reenforce learning. 

6. Keep character logs & pay attention to dialogue. 

Exploring The Salem Witch Trials: The Basis for Arthur Miller's "The Crucible"

Today we will explore visually the Salem Witch Trials. We will watch a short documentary first, and them move on to a longer one--perhaps giving you choice. As you watch, and no matter which you watch, be sure you can answer the following: 

What aspects of herd behavior or group think is present with the accusers? 

Why was Salem not a happy place at the time of the witch hunts? In other words, what grievances, anger, factions were present in Salem? 

Who were the accusers? 

Who were the accused? 

How were the factions religionized? In other words, how were conflicts painted or simplified in religious terms? 

Why would an accused confess if they were not guilty? 

Ironically, what would happen to the accused if they confessed? 

How many people were accused? How many were killed?
