The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass is the focus of three activities designed for readers of the autobiography.  First, class members deconstruct the title to understand Douglass's purpose in writing. Next, scholars examine how Douglass describes the people in his life. The last activity has pupils analyze two spirituals as examples of coded means of escape.
