• You will “date” and speak to at least 16 Antebellum
reformers today.
• When “dating” ask them questions on the handout I
will give you. Both people should speak back and forth.
• When “dating” write the name of the reformer, the
category they belong to (abolition, women’s rights,
temperance, education, prison) and the answers to
some of their questions.
• You will have 1.5 minutes with each person. When you
hear the music rotate the person facing the back of the
room will rotate. First and third row moves to the
right and middle row moves to the left.
• Have fun and maybe there will be a second date for
you in the future 
