Homework: Dear parents/ guardians, please assist your child with today’s homework.  
Option 3: Collections: from "NARRATIVE OF SOJOURNER TRUTH" 1850, Sojourner Truth
Isabella was married to a fellow-slave, named Thomas, who had previously had two wives, one of whom, if not both, had been torn away from him and sold far way. In process of time, Isabella found herself the mother of five children. Think, dear reader… if you can, for one moment, of a mother thus willingly, and with pride, laying her own children, the 'flesh of her flesh,' on the altar of slavery.
 [The man who owned Sojourner Truth (Isabella)  promised to free her one year before the state of New York frees all slaves, but she injures her hand. As a result, her owner refuses to free her because he says she has not done her full share of work.] But Isabella inwardly (in her mind) determined that she would leave him…

2.      Why would Isabella give up her children “willingly, and with pride”?
3.      Why do you think Isabella’s owner REALLY broke his promise?
4.      What do You Think: Should Isabella wait a year until she’s free or runaway? Why?
