Readings for Week 6: Please Read! To make this process a little shorter for you all, what I want to do is break this up. Each student will be responsible for 3 chapters. What I want you to do is to "claim" your chapters of the book (please go in order), and then after preparing a synopsis of what happens in each of your chapters, respond to yourself. That way no one will do the same chapters and we can have a synopsis of the entire book. We will start with Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl.
Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl by Harriet Jacobs available as a free Kindle download, http://docsouth.unc.edu/fpn/jacobs/jacobs.html,
