Says, Means, Matters and Socratic Seminar

Bellringer: How do the two slave narratives we read compare?

Recap: Class began with Says, Means, Matters. There was an example shared with you. 

            Next, we created a close reading web using concrete examples from Chapter VI of Frederick Douglass's autobiography. Each group was then asked to fill in the Says, Means, Matters chart using examples from the text. This will help you to create thesis statements. We then created a one sentence thesis based on the information provided.

Following this activity, we held a mini Socratic seminar, where each student was asked to participate by comparing and contrasting Frederick Douglass's story with Olaudah Equiano's, or the slave video watched on Friday. 

Homework: Vocabulary Quiz Tomorrow!

Awesome work today!
