  1. Agenda Bell Ringer (5) Whole Group (35) Differentiating between strong and weak claims Small Group (40) ACT Practice Test Wrap Up (5)

  2. Practice ACT • Come in and quietly have a seat. • We are taking a Practice ACT for the first half of the period!

  3. Objective I will learn how to analyze advanced words and phrases in “Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass,” by formally stating my claim. I will know I have mastered it when I am able to write a strong claim based on the information given in the prompt.

  4. I Do: Claims • Claim=an argument Strong Claims 1) Specific: Not Vague, defines pronouns. 2) Arguable: Takes a side. 3) Expresses One Idea

  5. I Do: Claims Specific She is not able to defend herself against him because she is weak. • What is wrong with this claim? • How can we make it better?

  6. I Do: Claims Arguable Harriet Jacobs has two children. • What is wrong with this claim? • How can we make it better?

  7. I Do: Claims Expresses One Idea Douglass is a skilled blacksmith, tradesman, and hunter because he is able to make money within the boundaries of all those careers. • What is wrong with this claim? • How can we make it better?

  8. I Do: Claims Strong Claim Linda Brent’s act of sacrificing her physical freedom for her children makes her a good mother because she is putting her childrens’ comfort and livelihood in front of her own.

  9. I Do: Claims Linda Brent’s act of sacrificing her physical freedom for her children makes her a good mother because she is putting her children’s comfort and livelihood in front of her own. Three Reasons Why I think this is a good claim: • Linda Brent lives in a crawl space for seven years, it is uncomfortable so it’s an act of love. • Even though she was more at risk of being caught, she hid in her grandmother’s house so she could be near her children. • Even though she had escaped slavery, she took a job as a maid for a white family so she could be near her daughter in New York.

  10. We Do: Claims • We are going to take a look at some claims made in both Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass and Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl. • With the people at your table you are to: • Rank the claim (on a scale of 1-10) • Write a 1-2 sentence explanation about your score AND what, if anything, can be done to improve the claim.

  11. Exit Ticket • In your composition notebook, write your own claim based on the following question. State three reasons why you believe in your claim. • How does Frederick Douglass feel about slave masters who convert to Christianity?

  12. Exit Ticket • In your composition notebook, write your own claim based on the following prompt. State three reasons why you believe in your claim. • How does Frederick Douglass feel about slave masters who were not born owning slaves?
