These Douglass resources and handouts support the unit plan in my previous post
Two days ago, I posted a unit plan for The Narrative of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave, Written by Himself. In that post, you’ll find a PDF of the unit for you to purchase and then review, tweak, adjust, present or otherwise use in your ELA middle or high school classroom.
It’s not a perfect unit plan and, as I wrote earlier, each year I teach it I make changes here and there. Those changes are in response to a variety of things… the makeup of the students in my classes, schedule conflicts, and all the other little hiccups that arise during the month or so that we spend studying Douglass.
So, with that in mind, remember that my plan is a “work in progress” that you can use (or partially use — it’s up to you) to introduce your students to Frederick Douglass with a variety of reading comprehension tasks, vocabulary lessons, and collaborative activities.
I’ve made a PDF that contains the handouts and other printed materials the unit plan calls for. You can purchase these directly from me on this site using your PayPal account. As soon as your payment is received by PayPal, I will email your file within minutes.

And here’s the Kevin Bales video featured in the unit plan infographic extension. Bales is Professor of Contemporary Slavery and Research Director of the Rights Lab at the University of Nottingham in the United Kingdom. He’s written numerous books on modern slavery, including Blood and Earth, Disposable People, and Ending Slavery.
Thanks for sharing your resources. Please make sure to balance them with information on BIPOC achieving and contributing to society too – not just as slaves and downtrodden. I appreciate all you do!

Yes. I share your concern to show the full stories of BIPOC and am always looking for lit that does that. Thanks for your feedback!
