Through a careful reading and examination of Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin, scholars take part in grand conversations about the novel's contents, slavery, and the impact the book had on it. Furthermore, learners analyze an image depicting an auction of slaves, conduct a readers theater, and explore current events to bring attention to the public's way of dealing with specific issues.
