💯 Writing 3.0: Jan 13 to Mar 24
Solomon Northup was born a free man, but was kidnapped and sold into slavery in the American South.
TYAS is a true story, and the book was the basis of the Academy Award-winning movie 12 Years a Slave (2013).
This is the syllabus for the reading and assignments.
Overview
In general, before each lesson, we need you to: Read the assigned material, complete the Reading summary quiz for that material, take the vocab quiz for that material, and write an essay on the material.
Here is an example of how a week would look:
- You have class on Friday.
- In that class, we are going to discuss Twelve Years a Slave A.
So this means that before that class, you need to:
- Read all of Twelve Years a Slave A
- Complete the Reading summary for Twelve Years a Slave A
- Take the vocab quiz for Twelve Years a Slave A
- Do the writing for Twelve Years a Slave A
Then on your live class day, we have class and talk about Twelve Years a Slave A. Next week, same thing, except you do the material for the B unit, not the A unit.
