Lesson Objectives - Students will make corrections from yesterday's quiz for Vocabulary Unit 7.  They will then apply the concept of characterization to the subject of "My Friend Douglass" and "Narrative of the Life of Fredrick Douglass."  Students will begin their study of "Harriet Tubman: Conductor on the Underground Railroad."  Both historic figures could be used in the upcoming Performance Task where students will create an "Abolitionist Hall of Fame."
