F 100

F 100

Not a good essay question. There is no way to get it wrong. It only asks whether you expected it or

not.

Explain the first time Frederick tried to escape.

F 200

This asks for facts. It is therefore not an essay question. It is a recall question.

F 200

F 300

Not a good essay question. It has an immediate, factual

answer.

F 300

Have you gone on a quest like Douglass? Explain.

Not a good one. This is a yes/no question at heart. How can you explain if the answer is “no”? Secondly, the book is not about YOU in this sense. Needs more guidance. Could be good with some changes.

Why is the book titled “Narrative of the Life of

Frederick Douglass when his real name is Frederick
