Pupils explain why this is wrong / how this could be stopped. This can then be linked to views on abolishing the Slave Trade in 1807. Pupils will then work in teams in a literacy relay style activity (Explained in Presentation) to answer focused questions on the main individuals involved in helping abolish the slave trade in Britain. The main task is centred around pupils using evidence to support an argument to end slavery which they could pitch to Parliament in 1807.
