Frederick Douglass
Our English class read The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave this past week. It had been a while since my peers and I had discussed racism, not since freshman year. We have been having some interesting discussions on race in America. For the student opening activity that my group is doing on Chapter 11, I created this blog which will lead the students to a fishbowl on the discussion tomorrow (Wednesday) at around 1:15. If you are up for a discussion, jump in, or just read the interesting comments that are sure to pop up. I love that our teacher is allowing us to teach each other this book, because I really enjoyed creating this blog and I think we really understand the implications of his text.

I love this blog and you obviously put a lot of effort into creating it. Also, I like that we are discussing racism because it's such a touchy topic and people try to avoid it. So I love that we talked about a controversial topic such as this one so frankly!
Amy- thanks so much for checking my blog. It is so exciting to ge comments because not many people know about it. I had fun with the project, thanks for being a part of it!
You're very welcome. I find your posts interesting and thought-provoking. Keep it up! :)
