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.
