Description
In this lesson, students will begin to articulate the theme of their children’s books. They first read the conclusion of Frederick Douglass: The Last Day of Slavery (excerpted in the entry task) and think about the theme of that book. Using the author’s language as a scaffold, they then write their own theme for two of the episodes they read. Students should keep today’s entry task in a safe place and use it as they write the conclusion of their children’s book.
