This unit will be broken down into three parts which will include both teaching strategies and classroom activities. The three parts are as follows: 1) Slavery in America: The Beginning 2) Slavery in America: Evolution & Justifications and 3) Slavery in America: Legacies, Resistance & Hope. For each part, I will include at least one suggested classroom activity. Each classroom activity will include the specific topic being addressed, some background content, rationale for why teach the content covered in the activity, the specific guiding question(s) that the activity will help to answer as well as a warm up, activity details, and a closing/reflection. The unit also includes a suggested hook as well as a final project to address the unit’s essential questions.
