Participate in a Collaborative Discussion (p. 203) Instead of holding a panel discussion with
classmates, write a 5-paragraph essay analyzing 3 texts from the Collection. In your essay,
discuss each text with the following questions in mind:
1. How does the struggle over slavery affect people in the text? How do they respond to it?
2. How does a person's character or situation affect their actions?
3. What generalization or broad conclusion can I make about people's responses to the struggle
over slavery?
