Introducing the Process for Close Reading: Meeting Frederick Douglass

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

To learn more about Frederick Douglass, class members complete close reads of excerpts from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass. They complete a close reading guide and questions for each excerpt. Pupils then add to the Historical Context anchor chart and work on their independent reading.
