Fix your mistakes. Scholars look over their end-of-unit assessments while the teacher focuses on common mistakes made among the class. Learners then make predictions about their next text, Frederick Douglass: The Last Day of Slavery, by viewing the pictures on the cover. As the teacher begins to read the book aloud, pupils answer text-dependent questions. Finally, they use matching cards to complete a narrative arc of the story.
