Overview of the Atlantic Slave Trade Lesson

In this lesson, students will gain a chronological understanding of slavery in the early modern period. They will develop an awareness of the causes of forced migration of slavery and the number of slaves transported and the nations/places involved, including Portugal, Britain, and North America. Students will have the opportunity to achieve this through choosing their own method of learning, from reading and research options, as well as the chance to engage in extension activities. This lesson includes a self-marking quiz for students to demonstrate their learning.
