Transatlantic Slave Trade Complete Lessons & Activities CD-ROM

Subject: History Level: Secondary Age Group: 11-14 and 14-16 Order Number: 7150
The Transatlantic Slave Trade Pack is especially significant in light of recently announced changes to the Key Stage 3 History curriculum which recommend that the history and impact of the slave trade should be taught from September 2008. The pack contains ten complete lessons which mainly focus on Britain’s role in the slave trade.
Topics covered are:-

Africa before the slave trade
The Trade Triangle
Capture of slaves
The Middle Passage and Olaudah Equiano [2 lessons]
Slave auctions
Life on plantations
Slave resistance
The abolition of slavery
The impact of the slave trade on Britain and Africa

The pack can be taught as a complete scheme of work, although each lesson can also stand alone in its own right. Each of the ten lessons comes with clear lesson objectives/learning outcomes, starter and plenary activities and 3 sequenced lesson activities. These lesson activities are varied and are designed to engage, challenge and provoke discussion of this very sensitive issue.
Each lesson contains at least one homework task. There are differentiated activities for special needs and more able pupils. Some of the featured lesson activities include a jigsaw cooperative group work activity, a slavery debate, simulation and role play activities on slave ship conditions, the Trade Triangle and slave auctions. Also included are extended writing tasks on the Middle Passage and the abolition of slavery. Mark schemes, writing frames and peer assessment sample answers are provided. There is an End of Unit test and Pupil Self Evaluation and Target Setting Form.
This pack provides teachers with a wide range of resources needed to teach a sequence of lessons fulfilling some of the essential aspects of the assessment for learning curriculum. The teacher will need the film Amistad for lessons 4-5.
