- This lesson is designed for a traditional (non-computer) classroom setting.
Teachers may, however, choose to have students use the newspaper search page
for the Franklin Repository and Valley Spirit to search for articles on slavery
themselves.
- Teachers who do so should be prepared for students' coming across extremely
derogatory racial terms that may be upsetting or confusing.
- Unless you plan to have students conduct their own
newspaper search, print and copy Student Worksheet
One in advance. This worksheet contains:
- an article from the Franklin Repository and Transcript, the Republican
newspaper,
- an article from the Valley Spirit, the Democratic newspaper, and
- questions for the students to answer after they have read the article(s).
