The Narrative of Frederick Douglass
1. Review Chapters one and two of the Narrative. Which details in either chapter seem to argue or refute the idea that: Black Women were promiscuous? Which part of Chapter one does Frederick include to show that slavery was an unnatural condition? Why is Aunt Hester the subject of violence? Why do you think Frederick vividly recollects it and presents it to readers? Do you think most slaves had the same relationships with their mother as Frederick did or might his situation been unique?
2. Complete the Family Tree Handout under Class Readings and Handouts. One side of the tree is for your mother's side. The other for your father's lineage. If possible, ask to see a picture or two or your grandparents to describe them. Write down brief descriptions of your parents as well. Lastly, ask the name of the hospital you were born in; the time of your birth and the city and state.
3. Finish your Reflective Journal based on your multi-media research.
4. Journals and Literature Circle Role Sheets--prepare for next weeks meeting #2.
