For Thursday, you will need to complete the passages by Frederick Douglass (426-430) in your textbook, and the photocopies of the Harriet Jacobs text. Because of my lack of photocopies, we are staggering the reading so that we can share the copies available. Here is the recommended reading timeline:
Interior rows of the room (near the aisle):
Due Wednesday: Frederick Douglass
Due Thursday: Harriet Jacobs
Back rows of the room (near the walls):
Due Wednesday: Harriet Jacobs (remember to bring your copies back to class)
Due Thursday: Frederick Douglass
If you were absent today, I'd recommend reading the Douglass excerpt in your book regardless of where you sit, and you can read the Jacobs for Thursday.
Please set up a "notes frame" for each of the passage. Although each author makes similar claims, they appeal to their audience in different ways. Be thinking about each author's use of diction, rhetorical appeals, selection of detail, etc. as you do each reading.
