Yesterday in class, we used the storyboards we made last week to make venn diagrams about the slavery stories. After we finished that, we were split into different groups. In those groups, we read about a person who was either a defender or opponent of slavery and filled out a paper about them. My group read about Abraham Lincoln. Then we split into even different groups and shared the information we took down about our people so we could fill in all of the parts of the paper.
Today in class, we compared the defendants and the opponents of slavery. We found that the opponents were usually born into poverty and had little education, while the defendants were more wealthy and educated. We also had a mock election. Just like a real election we filled in ballots with our votes. Unlike a real election, we could not write in candidates. That made me sad. Oh well.
