Biography: Sojourner Truth

This biography of Sojourner Truth focuses on her escape from slavery in New York, her attendance at the 1851 Ohio Women's Rights Convention, and her widely-recognized speech, "Ain't I a Woman?"

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.  Academic and content vocabulary words and definitions are included.

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

You can also purchase these biographies as part of a general series I have posted on Amped Up Learning: Biographies in American History.
