This KS3 lesson should take around one hour plus a homework to complete (depending upon how much you ask students to write for the diary entry). The Power Point leads students through all of the activities with accompanying resources included.
Aims and Objectives:
- To know what The Middle Passage was and how it worked as part of the Slave Trade Triangle.
- To use source material to investigate how slaves were treated.
- To consider what this shows us about attitudes towards slaves.
- To empathise with those who went through this horrific experience.
Activities include a mystery image starter of a bird’s eye view of a slave ship below decks, a video and questioning exercise on the story of the slave ship Zong, a source analysis activity whereby students look for specified evidence in a range of source. There are extension questions and a simpler SEN source set provided. The finally activity is to write a diary entry from a former slave describing the treatment endured during the Middle Passage. This activity works in isolation, although my classes build the diary up over this and the subsequent lessons on living and working conditions.
