Poem About Slavery

Now that we have read up to Chapter 3 in Chains, we will look at a poem about slavery.

"The Slave Auction" by Frances Ellen Watkins Harper (http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poem/177157)

This is the biography of the writer: http://www.poetryfoundation.org/bio/frances-ellen-watkins-harper#poet

As you read the poem, write down your inferences about slavery next to each stanza that may apply to Chains.

Chains

We are done our work on the French Revolution and English Civil War and are moving on the resilience through the lens of the novel Chains!

Yesterday, we started off by rating our feelings about various themes in the novel. Now, we are getting into the story itself.

For each chapter, we will begin by defining key terms before we read. Each student now has a duo-tang with the words for each chapter. Please fill it out with the definitions before we read that chapter.

Each student was also sent questions for Chapter 1-5. These are in your Humanities folder. After we read each chapter, you will have time to complete the questions. There will also be activities and connected texts at various chapters throughout.
