Tuesday, May 14th!
Happy Tuesday!
As expected:
5/14 Quick Write:
In order to more fully understand the actions of many white Americans during the 1600-1800s, we need to analyze the justifications they used to “own” another human being. Today’s lesson will do just that: we will discuss the historical reasons FOR and AGAINST slavery. You will organize these justifications into a T-chart.
On the left side of your T-chart, write down the Reasons FOR slavery:
On the other side of the chart, write the Reasons AGAINST slavery:
After you have documented both rationales regarding slavery, you are to write an editorial as if you were a student abolitionist in 1850. (Abolitionists, you’ll hopefully remember, are people who fight to get rid of the institution of slavery). Find the requirements and outline for the editorial below.
Due to our shortened classes, this editorial will be homework tonight.
Have a RELAXING Tuesday!
