This lesson leads on from my previous lessons on Slavery (see my Slavery SOW bundle), however of course this lesson can be used in isolation to fit in with your own SOW. This aim of this lesson is to inform pupils about the experience of slave auctions from the slaves perspective. The lesson starts through introducing pupils to the concept of an auction. Pupils will then study primary narratives of slave auctions and work in teams in a literacy relay task to answer questions to help build their subject knowledge. I have differentiated this task for more / less able pupils. This is then followed by with a video (embedded and link provided) and an SMSC discussion. Pupils consolidate their learning through using their class work for that lesson to support their response to an exam style question.

This lesson is designed to round off and consolidate a SOW on 'Slavery' or 'The British Empire'. Pupils begin by voicing their views on modern day slavery. This is linked with a variety of clips (To use at your discretion) to educate pupils on modern day slavery focused upon child labour / sweatshops. 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. This is evidence I have used in past lessons (See my shop) However, this would not make a difference if you have not used these lessons. I have included stretch and challenge sources for the more able pupils to be critical of and use in their arguments. (Differentiated) I have included further more detailed instructions and additional resources within the presentation itself. All videos have links provided / are embedded within the slide show.

To link with my previous lesson ('An introduction to Slavery), this lesson starts with an autonomously moving spotlight over a picture (of raw cotton) to hook pupils into the lesson and link to one of the causes of slavery. Pupils begin the lesson through listening to a description of the middle passage to help introduce the lessons theme. Pupils then write an inquiry question they would like answered by the end of the lesson. Main Task: Depending on your class the main task for this lesson could take many forms, some suggestions are: Pupils could work in teams and study evidence (12 pieces of evidence included) around the room to create a fact file on the experience of the middle passage on A1 paper (Prize for best one). Or pupils could work independently recording what they have learnt from the evidence in their books. A video clip from the show ‘Roots’ can then be shown (embedded) to help consolidate the tasks learning. Pupils will then have the knowledge they will need to answer their enquiry question and an exam style question at the end of the lesson which the teacher can then use to assess progress. Higher and Middle / lower ability version of sources included, with a peep sheet to prompt less able and a challenge sheet for more able.

I hope you find them useful. Pass the parcel style starter where pupils work out the lessons topic. I wrap up a bar of chocolate and place a ‘clue card’ on each layer. Alternatively you could give a card to different groups who must act out for the rest of the class to guess their word (Spelling together ‘the Nazi Soviet Pact’) Pupils will visit 5 stations around the classroom to help answer the question ‘Why did Hitler and Stalin sign the Nazi-soviet pact?’ NOTE: You will need additional material for station 4. Station 1: atch video Station 2: Visual Cartoon Source + map of Poland showing how it would be invaded and divided by both countries (simple). (white board pens can be used to label countries / make notes if you laminate the sheets) (visual learners) Station 3: Source table – sources A-F – differentiation: Some easier to understand + read than others) (Again – white board pens can be used to circle / underline key text) (for those who prefer reading) Station 4: touch and feel boxes – Box 1 – contains a clock and a bomb to show that both sides would be bought time but the bomb indicates that war would eventually commence. Box 2: contains a small wooden pole and some grass = Pole-Land = to show that both sides would befit from dividing Poland between them. (Kinaesthetic learners) Station5 : (The Secret station) – A3 information sheet which consolidates everything that happened to lead to the pact being signed with benefits for both sides) This will be revealed half way through the lesson. Pupils can then answer exam style question before peer assessing.
