A Note About A Few Of The Many Different Assignments Included: There are three writing assignments in this unit, each with the purpose of informing, persuading, or expressing personal opinions. The detailed writing assignment sheets guide students through the assignments. The first assignment is to inform: students write a composition about one of the background topics assigned in Lesson One. The second assignment gives students the chance to persuade: students pretend they live in the 1840's and are violently opposed to all aspects of slave trading. They are to convince slave owners to stop promoting this practice. The third assignment is to give students the opportunity to express personal ideas: students will share how music influences and colors their lives. There is an optional class project (Project Multicultural Awareness) through which students will gain an appreciation of many cultures and the challenges of multicultural equality. They also will have the opportunity to take part in helping to do something to foster this ideal in their community. Uses: These materials are geared for whole class use but are very easily adaped for independent study work, lit circles or book groups, home school use, or tutoring. If you have never taught this book before, this manual will give you a great foundation of materials on a variety of levels.
