Building Context For The Narrative: Slavery In America


Description

PBS produced a series entitled Freedom: A History of US. Each episode on the video has an accompanying “webisode,” which is a combination of text and images, not another video. Lessons 3, 4, and 5 all rely on texts from Webisode 5: "A Fatal Contradiction." Those texts are included with the supporting materials. The lessons also provide a time for students to work with images and/or video that relate to the texts they read. Encountering the material through multiple media will increase student engagement and deepen their understanding.
