Review ACE for Frederick Douglass

What methods did Douglass take to learn to read and write?

• Douglass would make friends with poor white boys and trade them bread for lessons in reading.

• He learned to write through copying letters he saw in the ship yard. From there, he would slyly goad and challenge other boys who could write into showing him more letters, which he would memorize. 

Put it all together

• Now you have the information how can you put it all together in an ACE.

• For the following slides, you are going to review student examples and find the parts of ACE that are there or are missing

Multiple Select

The main method Douglass used to learn how to read and write was to manipulate some of the kids in the neighborhood to teach him. One example of this is when he said things like "I could write as well as he"(Paragraph 11) it would rile up the kid who would then try to beat him and Douglass would learn the letters of the kids who would beat him. My evidence shows that when he would act like was better than another child the child would respond by beating him and showing him new letters. When that would happen Douglass would learn these new letters and slowly learned how to read.

Explain

• Explain should ALWAYS come after the citation. It's the last part of the constructed response. It puts everything together and connects for the reader. Check out some sentence starters here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_oUP-nyId250IvLfrUnrLmRdyEYH2Mpd/view?usp=sharing

• While I don't approve of the use of "my"- refrain from ANYTHING "I" related this is still a good explanation.

Poll

The methods that Douglas used to write was looking at the letters on timber and he would practice writing those letters and then he also tricked other people into writing in order to prove to Douglas that they are better but Douglas just learned from those people and he also learned with a copy-book which was the fence, brick walls, or pavement and he used chalk for a pen and ink.

Thumbs up if you think this is a great response. Thumbs down if it needs a little work.

100

• That response got a 100. It had all the parts. It was in the required structure and was logical.

• I don't agree with the "my" but it's not enough to dock too many points since it was a minor error.

Multiple Choice

Which evidence supports: "One of the methods Frederick Douglass used was to befriend white children and use them to learn how to read"?

• The plan which I adopted, and the one by which I was most successful, was that of making friends of all the little white boys whom I met in the street. As many of these as I could, I converted into teachers.

• I was now about twelve years old, and the thought of being a slave for life began to bear heavily upon my heart.

• The idea as to how I might learn to write was suggested to me by being in Durgin and Bailey's ship-yard, and frequently seeing the ship carpenters, after hewing, and getting a piece of timber ready for use, write on the timber the name of that part of the ship for which it was intended.

Do!

• Select evidence that directly matches what you are claiming/saying.

• The third piece of evidence does support the question but it does not support our answer that we went with.

Don't!

• Try to use evidence that may be right but doesn't support your answer. You make yourself work harder that way.

• Give more than 3 sentences of evidence. You are writing a short answer- they should be short.

• Next, find the explanation that best connects the answer, lead-in, and evidence together.
