Monday January 13 th, 2014 Welcome back!

Am Lit: Do Now ( ) What binder tab are we still using? (aka what literary movement are we studying?) Write down any information you know about Fredrick Douglass. Who was that man? Also, what is an abolitionist ? For my elite thinkers: How could a black man during slavery write a story about himself that would appeal to white readers who have nothing in common with him, and who might even be the enemy in the plight of the slaves?

Monday’s Purpose Students should refresh Their definition of Realism (the literary movement). Their definitions of key elements of a writer’s style In order to: (starting tomorrow) Be able to analyze Douglass’ story in a similar way to how we analyzed the rhetoric of Jonathon Edwards’ “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” sermon. Illustrate the qualities of Douglass’s story that make it a part of Realism
