Good Afternoon:
Todays lesson deals with the issue of Slavery in the United States!
NCSS Standards covered will be:

While we study the institution of Slavery we will question what historical issues did it produce.
We will analyze and interpret what social, political, and economic factors played a role in it being instituted as well as discontinued.
We will hypothesis what could be the possible effects of this institution- short term and long term.
OBJECTIVE: Todays lesson will define what slavery is and what role, if any did other countries play in the American slave trade. We will analyze literature that descirbes the trip over to the New World referred to as The Middle Passage.
Anticipated outcomes: SWBAT: Study a map and identify Slaverys' global impact.
SWBAT: Read and analyze a piece of Literature
SWBAT: Write a response essay from the role of the slave-in other words YOU will
be the slave! You are pretending to write a friend back home of your
experience thus far.
The rest of the site has a lot of information. I like how it is organized with letters and pictures. With regard to the lesson, I could not figure out what the exploratory section was for the lesson. The lesson itself is good, I just had an issue with which grade level it was for.
