Hope testing was smooth and mostly painless!
5/16 Quick Write:
Reminder… Current Event due TOMORROW!
Today we are introducing ourselves to a handful of famous anti-slavery activists… abolitionists! All of these people had the same aim: to get rid of the institution of slavery. However, they used a wide array of techniques to achieve this goal– some were speakers and preachers, others put their message into typed words which were published in newspapers, and others organized and lead slave rebellions in an effort to free the south of slavery.
You will be given a short biography of one of 21 abolitionists, and with this information you will create a Found Poem (all of the info in the poem is FOUND in the bio). See the instructions, an example, and the poem template below.
Your Found Poem must be turned in at the end of class because they will be used in a gallery walk tomorrow.
Below are the 21 anti-slavery activists you may be assigned.
