This appendix has been especially designed for your own use allowing the margin of creativity when developing classroom activities, in addition to the activities included in this curriculum unit.
It is recommended that the terms “Negro” and “Black” be used interchangeably so that the students will learn the basic originality of both terms.
It is my sincere hope that the design of this appendix will stimulate the students’ thinking as they study their assigned tasks.

The upper illustration shows the six-foot-wide platform on which slaves were arranged “like books on a shelf;” they had no space above them to sit up. The deck itself (lower illustration) was completely covered with rows of bodies. (From Clarkson’s
