6 Co-Teaching Approaches
8:45 – 10:00 AM

1) Divide your assigned list of residents
among your fellow group members and
write down the entire list of residents.
As you write down the names, look
critically at what you are writing.
What do you notice about these
names? What do they have in
common?

2) What do you notice about the gender
of the names on your list?

3) What do you think the second
column on the list represents?
Give several examples.

Parallel Teaching
Frederick Douglass vs. George Fitzhugh
TOPIC: How were enslaved people treated?

Parallel Teaching
Narrative of the Life
of Frederick
Douglass
“Sociology for the
South” by George
Fitzhugh

This selection, from Fitzhugh’s Cannibals All! or Slaves Without Masters, is a justification and defense of slavery. In other portions of
his radical book, Fitzhugh argued that (as his title implies) work relations made cannibals of everyone and that, ideally, liberty was
meant only for a few—that “some were born with saddles on their backs, and others booted and spurred to ride them—and the
riding does them good.”
George Fitzhugh, "The Blessings of Slavery" (1857)
“The negro slaves of the South are the happiest, and in some sense, the freest people in the world. The children and the
aged and infirm work not at all, and yet have all the comforts and necessaries of life provided for them. They enjoy liberty,
because they are oppressed neither by care or labor. The women do little hard work, and are protected from the despotism of
their husbands by their masters. The negro men and stout boys work, on the average, in good weather, no more than nine
hours a day. The balance of their time is spent in perfect abandon. Besides, they have their Sabbaths and holidays. White
men, with som muh [sic] of license and abandon, would die of ennui; but negroes luxuriate in corporeal and mental repose.
With their faces upturned to the sun, they can sleep at any hour; and quiet sleep is the gretest [sic] of human enjoyments.
"Blessed be the man who invented sleep." 'Tis happiness in itselfand results from contentment in the present, and confident
assurance of the future. We do not know whether free laborers ever sleep. They are fools to do so; for, whilst they sleep, the
wily and watchful capitalist is devising means to ensnare and exploit them. The free laborer must work or starve. He is more
of a slave than the negro, because he works longer and harder for less allowance than the slave, and has no holiday,
because the cares of life with him begin when its labors end. He has no liberty and not a single right. . . .”

“Slaves sing most when
they are most unhappy.
The songs of the slave
represent the sorrows of
his heart; and he is
relieved by them, only
as an aching heart is
relieved by its tears.”

“[I]n designing a PowerPoint slide it is
important to not present an overwhelming
amount of information (i.e., coherence
principle) and it is useful to have simple
graphics to supplement words (i.e.,
multimedia principle).”
