Response:  Were there ever times when Frederick Douglas had to wear the mask? To what extent may have that contributed to his success? Answer in your notebook with evidence from both the poem and the article.  

Read the poem We Wear the Mask and watch the first video of me going over the poem.  Watch the second video of me discussing the Frederick Douglass article. Both are on Google Classroom (OF COURSE I AM HAVING DIFFICULTY WITH WEEBLY ENCODING VIDEOS AGAIN!  THE WE WEAR THE MASK VIDEO CAN BE FOUND IN GOOGLE CLASSOOM.

Friday March 20 Theme / Ode Poem 

Padlet - join us
Side note:  I was mentioning in the video topics that make a theme.  Love, family, friendship, loneliness, are all topics or subjects that we learn about.  What we learn from these topics or subjects is called the theme.  Theme is what you learn about the topic or subject. ​For example; When the astronaut landed on the moon, he felt loneliness. Thinking there was no one else, he became a little forlorned, though the view of Earth was stunningly beautiful. 
(Theme of lonesomeness)
