Slave Narratives in Google Classroom

Slave Narratives

Good morning 8th Grade! I hope you all had a wonderful spring break!

As we move forward, we keep getting deeper into tensions in the United States between the North & South and controversial issues of the time, particularly slavery.
I want you all to see and encounter vivid historical perspectives. Thus, I want you all to dive into slave narratives compiled by a group known as Federal Writer’s Project (FWP) whom worked for the government to record and collect the voices of slaves before the Civil War.

Some of what you might read in this assignment might be hard to process but I want to give you all a glimpse of the South before the Civil War. Some of it is good and some of it is bad but analyzing these pieces of texts will help you grasp the context where the United States was at during this era.

PLEASE READ AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS ATTACHED TO THE PRIMARY SOURCE IN COMPLETE SENTENCES. I AM HERE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. I look forward to see where your analysis and interpretation takes you based on what you read.

Upcoming Important Dates:
Ch. 12 Study Guide (assigned and must be turned in by Friday 4/24)

Today we are going to focus on a primary source analysis on the Industrial Revolution.

ALL YOU NEED TO TURN IN ARE THE QUESTIONS ON THE GOOGLE DOC. IT IS GOING TO BE DUE AT 2:00 PM. You may collaborate with each other-I know that you all, as a class, work hard and well in collaborative groups and thus, will allow it.
