Distribute the following documents at work stations around the room. 

• Station 1-Abolitionist Map of Slavery of the United States, Illustrations for American Antislavery Almanac 1840 
• Station 2-Declaration of Sentiments of the American Anti-Slavery Society, 1833
• Station 3-New England Anti-Slavery Almanac for 1841; “Things for the Abolitionist to Do”
• Station 4-Broadside for Illinois Antislavery Convention, 1837

Allow students to move through the stations, to meet your time constraints,  but it is recommended to have at least 8-10 minutes per station. Students, should consider the following questions as they analyze the documents:

• What is most compelling to you about this document?  What word(s), image or ideal is the most powerful?
• In what ways could this document be disseminated?  Who would use it and in what ways?  Is it unique?  How?  Think in terms of design and content.
• How does this document differ from a speech given to a group at an antislavery meeting?  How might the audience differ?
