Finish reading the excerpt from The Narrative Life of Frederick Douglass which I entitled "Slave Songs." Continue looking for the strategies Douglass employs to convince us that "the mere hearing of those songs would do more to impress some minds with the horrible character of slavery, than the reading of whole volumes of philosophy on the subject could do." Annotate the excerpt. Come in ready for a LIVELY discussion over the selection.Douglass quotes William Cowper, an English poet, when he claims "there is no flesh in [man's] obdurate heart." You and your team will peruse and perform an excerpt of Cowper's poem on Tuesday. You might just read through the poem to get an idea of its meaning and context.
Have a blessed weekend.
