US History students, having read excerpts from both Frederick Douglass and George Fitzhugh's "Sociology for the South", use those two lenses to interpret a Currier & Ives chromolithograph, “A Cotton Plantation on the Mississippi. The Harvest, 1884” by William Aiken Walker. The activity begins with SEE THINK WONDER, where students observe (SEE) elements in the painting, then read excerpts from the authors, then interpret through those respective perspectives (THINK). Finally, students pose questions about the image (WONDER).
