The students of Mr.Boggs's English 11, with student-teacher Mrs.Edwards, at W.G.Enloe High School wish to present the web pages they created based on their understanding of the similarities between Frederick Douglass's autobiographical The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass and blues music.  Both represent responses to slavery in America and, although different, share common themes and ideas. The assignment was to include:

• a description of the common themes written in their own words
• a quotation from Douglass
• lyrics from blues songs
• related images
• in some cases, the students chose to also feature representations of modern music that also reminded them of Douglass

The students worked in groups of twos and threes, with the team names listed below:
 

B.K.T N.E.A. G.A.T. Stillmatic Connect-create-communicate Blueprint Blue Douglass D.T.J. Hotboys Too Good The Exclusives C.J.

A.K.R The 3 Heartbeats A Passage to Freedom JNH The Great Links M.A.C. The Realists Blues is Reality The Answer The Finest Bogies
