Unit 2: Slavery Hymns |
In this second unit we are going to listen to some of the many slavery hymns slaves sang during their work as a slave. What message do these songs carry and what can we learn from that?
Learning objectives Unit 2:
Watch this short fragment from the film "12 Years a Slave" where slaves sing the song "Roll, Jordan, Roll". Then go to the assignment tabs to take a look at the assignments. Gather all the assignments from Unit 2 into one document and hand it in through SOMToday or via your Teams page before Friday evening 6 pm in week 2. |
