Monday, May 20th

Welcome back! We have 4 days this week, so let’s make them GOOD!

5/20 Quick Write:

Remember to turn in your Current Event if you did not do so on Friday!! (Last one!!)

We have covered many questions so far in this unit:

  • Why was there slavery in the US?
  • What did slavery look like the the US in the 1800s?
  • How was slavery resisted?
  • Who resisted and worked to get rid of slavery?

We will review these topics with a brief video (most classes were unable to watch this video last week, despite it being posted on Friday’s post). Keep in mind, he speaks very quickly and covers a lot of information. Focus on what you ALREADY KNOW, and make note of which topics he mentions that are familiar.

After we debrief on this video, we will begin to discuss our ongoing question for the week: How free were free blacks in the North?

We will address this question by doing a DBQ (Document-Based Questions) assessment as a class. Today we will start things off by reading an Introduction Essay together. We will discuss the essay as a class and answer a few comprehension questions.

Have a good week!
