These outstanding resources have been designed to help students understand the development of the Transatlantic Slave Trade through an investigative card sort. What makes this resource unique is that the first core tasks gets students to arrange the cards into what they think is the chronological order or chain of events in order to create their own narrative or history of what happened. The second core task gets students to organise the cards under one of six headings or possible reasons or factors that explain why the Transatlantic Slave Trade developed or grew. This is then followed by a priority task in a thinking skills triangle activity.
When you purchase this resource you will be able to download two documents.
