1 of 6 - What was life in Africa like? 2 of 6 - The Middle Passage 3 of 6 - Slave auctions and life on the plantations 4 of 6 - Resistance to slave trade 5 of 6 - The abolition of the slave trade 6 of 6 - The Legacy of the slave trade **Enquiry question: What was the experience of those enslaved by the Transatlantic slave trade?** All lesson PowerPoints, work sheets and information sheets provided. Information has been written for students with a reading age of 12. The scheme of work is designed for students in year 8 and slots neatly between schemes of work on the British Empire and the Industrial Revolution. This scheme of work satisfies the National Curriculum’s need for ’ *at least one study of a significant society or issue in world history and its interconnections with other world developments*.’ I have put a lot of thought and effort into providing an human experience led scheme of work that looks at the individual struggles of those who were enslaved as well as the international reasons for the slave trades existence.
