Biography: Sarah and Angelina Grimké

This biography of Sarah and Angelina Grimké focuses on their first-hand experience with slavery on the family's plantation in South Carolina, their activism in the abolitionist movement of the mid-1800s, and their early involvement in the women's rights movements in the United States.

The biography includes a series of questions based on the reading.

In using this in my own classroom, students are encouraged to:

1. Number the paragraphs

2. Read the biography

3. Highlight answers in the reading

4. Use complete sentences

5. Identify the paragraph where they find the answer

The answer key demonstrates these steps.

For those seeking distance learning options, the biography can easily be converted to a digital activity using Google Slides.
