3. Do Now
A penny for your thoughts? If it’s a 1943 copper penny, it could be worth as much as fifty thousand dollars. In 1943, most pennies were made out of steel since copper was needed for World War II, so the 1943 copper penny is ultra-rare. Another rarity is the 1955 double die penny. These pennies were mistakenly double stamped, so they have overlapping dates and letters. If it’s uncirculated, it’d easily fetch $25,000 at an auction. Now that’s a pretty penny.
What or what is this passage about?
A penny for your thoughts
A 1943 copper penny
Rare pennies

7. “The Woman Called Moses”
We will now re-read a part of the passage using Control the Game (CtG) and focus on the Guiding Question:
What information or ideas are presented at the beginning of “The Woman Called Moses”?

8. “The Woman Called Moses”
1 - In the year 1835 on a large plantation located in Bucktown, Maryland, a 15-year-old black girl lay awake on the dirt floor of the windowless, one-room cabin she shared with her parents in the slave quarters.
The room was hot, almost too hot to bear. Softly, so as not to waken her sleeping parents, Harriet Tubman got up and walked to the open doorway of the chinked-log cabin and listened to the sounds of music and laughter that floated down through the heavy night air from the mansion where her owners were celebrating the harvest of a bumper cotton crop.

9. “The Woman Called Moses”
9 - It was a beautiful clear night, with millions of twinkling stars and a silver moon. Many years later Harriet would recall that night and describe it as the turning point in her life, the night when the wind quieted and some unseen force reached down from the star-studded heavens and stripped away the terror that kept her mind and her body in servitude. That night, Harriet’s fear was replaced with a single focus: to escape from slavery and to live free.
From the spoken and written words of Harriet Tubman, we can learn much about who she was and about how she felt about being a slave
“We were always uneasy. Now I’ve been free, I know what slavery is. I have seen hundreds of escaped slaves but I never saw one who was willing to go back and be a slave. I have no opportunity to see my friends in my native land. We would rather stay in our native land if we could be as free there as we are here (in the North). I think slavery is the next thing to hell. If a person would send another into bondage he would, it appears to me, be bad enough to send him to hell if he could.”
