Maturity Warning:
5/9 Quick Write:
As stated yesterday, we are discussing in detail a topic that needs to be taken seriously. The institution of slavery has been around for thousands of years, and intimately shaped the foundation of the United States of America. In order to understand our country as it functions today, we need to take a close and uncomfortable look at the actions taken by many white Americans against a huge group of people: enslaved people from Africa and their decedents. The intention of class today is for you to walk away with a more poignant and severe understanding of what the institution of slavery looked liked in America.
Today we will review the vocab terms we were introduced to yesterday. Then you will be taking Cornell Notes on the in-class lecture. You can find the lecture here: Institution of Slavery Notes
On you Cornell Notes be sure to summarize each slide, and answer the essential question: “What was slavery like in America in the 1800s?”
If you didn’t already, make sure to turn in your Unit 5 Vocab Frayer Model. Also, Current Event due tomorrow!
