Summary and Objective
Through investigating documents relating to the anti-slavery movement, students will understand that the movement included a wide variety of individuals all with different opinions on the issue. Sudents will utilize previous information along with the key individuals, descriptions of events and the plethora of opinions found in the documents attached to this lesson, as a springboard for their own creation of an anti-slavery rally simulation.
Teaching Plan
Step 1.
Divide the class into groups so that each group has one document.
Step 2.
In their small groups, students will read and discuss the documents, looking for key individuals, important ideas and opinions, and descriptions of what an anti-slavery rally was like. These ideas will be recorded on a whiteboard to share with the class.
Step 3.
Each group will have 5 minutes to present their document and their ideas of key concepts from it with the class.
Step 4.
After all groups have presented, hold a class discussion about what an anti-slavery rally would have been like and who might have been present.
Step 5.
As a final activity for the day and a preview for the anti-slavery rally planning in the next lesson, students should respond in their daily journal to the question: If you were attending an anti-slavery rally what would be the most exciting part?
