Today's agenda:
1. Warm-Up: Vocabulary Snapshots
2. Talkers, Writers, and Do-ers of Abolitionism (pg 32-33)
DOWNLOAD THE POWERPOINT NOTES HERE
3. The Abolitionist Scrapbook Page (pg 31)
Today in history we began by having some fun with vocabulary words by getting into groups and acting them out.
We then moved back to the topic of Northern reform movements, and the people in the United States working to end slavery in America. These reformers were called "abolitionists," since they fought to abolish slavery. There were "talkers," those who gave stirring speeches against slavery; there were "writers," those who used the printed word; and finally there were "do-ers," those who felt the best way to end slavery was through action.
Who was most effective at working to end slavery? The talkers? The writers? The do-ers? That is the topic of your homework tonight. Create an Abolitionist Scrapbook Page to demonstrate whom you believe to be the most influential in the fight against slavery. The assignment description is right at the bottom of the second page of your notes from today's slide lecture.
"I need to see an example, Mr. Ippolito!" OK, fair enough, I did mention that I will post an example, and I will do that tomorrow when I'm back at school.RVI
