In this lesson, students learn the difference between a narrative and a summary. This will make it easier for them to turn their summary of an episode from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass into an engaging story.
Frederick Douglass: The Last Day of Slavery serves as the model text for the performance task and is central to this lesson. Familiarize yourself with this text and be able to reference specific examples to illustrate the concepts on the How a Narrative Is Different from a Summary Reference Sheet.
