Understanding the social and historical context of any story is important. The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle takes place in the early 1800s. For this project, you are going to create a short presentation that introduces your audience to this time period. Next, create three to five slides in a presentation using pictures and text that tells your imaginary audience something important about the early 1800s. You can focus on the way people dressed, social expectations, slavery, women’s rights, industrialization, life at sea, etc. Your focus can be anything that you find interesting as long as it helps create a historical context for the story.
