World Cafe: Analyzing Sojourner Truth’s “Ain’t I a Woman?”

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

May I take your order? Scholars read "Ain't I a Woman" and participate in a World Cafe. They work in small groups to discuss text-related questions and then complete a Note-Catcher sheet to organize their thoughts. For homework, learners each work on writing a summary paragraph of the speech.
