8c   Sub Unit 1: Lesson 9- " Surprising Oppositions"
HW for Monday night:  
Slide 4:  #1-6 ( must read the text to answer questions) 
 
Students are studying juxtapositions found in Chapter 2 and 3 of Fredrick Douglas' Autobiography. 
 
This lesson takes students through close readings of two sections of text, one about the Barneys who took care of the horses and one about the overseer Gore who shot the slave named Demby. In each close reading, students look carefully at Douglass’s language to appreciate how he seems to describe opposing elements (young and old, horses and people, slave and free) only to then show how these seemingly opposed elements are actually intertwined or even strengthening each other.
