Making Improvements Assessment

Step 1: Create A Slide Deck Presentation

Using one of the first-person histories from the Slave Narrative Collection and the article
"The Limitations of the Slave Narrative Collection," create an informative presentation.
There should be a minimum of five slides arranged in the order that best fits your
presentation. Be sure to include the following information in your slide deck:
 Identify and explain the central idea of the passage.
 Identify three details that support the central idea.
 Identify at least two areas where additional information is needed to increase the
accuracy of the narrative.
 Identify at least two potential problems with the structure of the Federal Writer's
Project with the Slave Narratives.
 If you could speak to the person today, what three questions would you ask?
Explain your choices.

Step 2: Graphic Organizer

Review your slide deck presentation, then justify the decisions you made on each of the
following elements. Each response should be a minimum of 2-3 sentences in length.
