About This Lesson
This is one of many lessons that I have uploaded on The Slave Trade. All of the lessons can be taught together; but each covers a topic so can also be picked up separately. For ease of locating; the title stem is the same: " Slave Trade". This is a full PowerPoint lesson; ready to teach; but you will want to adapt it / update it for your own context and any resources are also uploaded with it. This lesson is an introduction to sources.PowerPoint has to be customized to your needs and it could take two days for the lesson.
I understand the lesson is trying to teach the students that the same event can have multiple opinions based on personal bias, but I don't feel the 5:30 video clip of a soccer game was the best way to teach this to the students. A soccer (football) game might be hard for some students to understand if they do not follow the sport, if you use this clip make sure you explain to the students in detail what they are looking for because it moves quickly and finally, you might have to even explain how significant the game was to English football fans to understand the intensity. This clip took away from the content and distracted my train of thought. I can imagine it would do the same for students; it took me a moment to remember what content I was looking at because my mind was on soccer for almost 6 minutes. Also, the link to the video clip of Amistad does not work...
