The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass: Frederick Douglass and the 15th Amendment

Students will read portions of The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass and review the text of the 15th Amendment, then write a narrative piece in the form of a journal entry to express Frederick Douglass’ thoughts and feelings about how the 15th Amendment could impact his life.

There are three lessons that can be used to complement a study of The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass and help students take a new perspective by merging ELA skills with civics knowledge.
