Homework: While reading A Concise History of the Haitian Revolution we will be using the double journal entry activity. The full directions are listed on the handout here, but remember to write 2-3 sentences per entry and each entry should come from a different subheading in the assigned reading.
You will also need to print and bring The Haitian Constitution, 1805 which is located in your course packet. Reading this document before coming to class will make our course discussion that much better.
BONUS!
Watch the PBS Documentary Egalite for All: Toussaint Louverture and the Haitian Revolution (2009). The film provides a good overview of the Haitian Revolution that will help you read Slave Revolution in the Caribbean. Watch the movie and write a one paragraph summary about the film. The extra credit assignment will be worth 10 points and will be due next class.
