Slave Songs

HW: In IREEC format, discuss 2 myths of slavery that Douglass argues against. Remember: a myth is a false or inaccurate belief, widely accepted as truth.

FREE STYLE FRIDAY:

As you may or may not know, many of the slave spirituals served as the foundation for what we know today as the Blues. Think of something that really stresses you out or breaks your spirit. Write a blues song that expresses your pain.

Follow this format:

I ain't got no sleep and I've been working all day
I ain't got not sleep and I've been working all day
Gonna find some place to rest these blues away
