Instructions
Students will choose four of ten questions to answer with a
well-thought-out paragraph response (about 100-150 words). Each question is worth 25 points. Refer to texts we have read so far in the
class to answer the questions.
One-fourth of the grade will be based upon the correct use of grammar,
punctuation and spelling. Feel free to
use the Effective Writing Center (under Course Resources) for help in writing
your responses, but otherwise do your work independently.Submitted responses
should be done in an MS Word document to the assignment folder.
Questions will be made available to students in a timely
manner before the deadline.

Explain at least 3 facts about lynching in the Southern
States.
Discuss the brutality endured by African slaves as they were
transported from Africa to the Americas during the Middle Passage.
