Students will examine in detail some aspect of the life of slaves in the United States
since 1619. Students will take advantage of a wealth of “slave narratives” — words
from slaves and former slaves themselves — to research and write about slave life. To
begin, students will choose to read a Book, one of three Classic Slave
Narratives: Olaudah Equiano, Frederick Douglass, or Harriet Jacobs/Linda
Brent. The narrative students choose to read will form the foundation of the research
project. Using the information gained from reading one of the above narratives,
students will decide on a specific aspect of slave life to research and turn in
a Topic. Then, students will assemble an Annotated Bibliography of primary and
secondary readings for the project where they will describe the utility of each
source. Next, students will prepare a detailed Outline of their final research paper
that will conform to the specific guidelines on the Outline page. Finally, students will
prepare a Final Draft of their research in a paper.
