Please see the Webquest below that you will be completing in Class for the next few days. You will also receive a paper copy in class so that you can fill the answers in. Good luck.
Slavery Webquest
This Webquest is going to take you through the beginnings of slavery in the Americas and detail what the journey was like for the slaves from Africa to the Americas. You will need headphones to watch videos and you will be working on researching the answers on your own. For all questions, the website is listed first and then questions on that particular website come after. You will be given more than enough classtime to finish this work and it is worth 100 points towards your classwork grade in History.
For this website, you do not need to answer all the questions that are listed. Instead, click on the trade routes to see what was traded and answer the following question.
4. What was traded from the Colonies in North America?
Read the primary source. Then, write a paragraph that explains at least THREE facts that surprised you about the life on a slave ship. You can use a quote from the primary source (that means you write down the exact words that someone said), but you need to make sure that it has “quotation marks” to identify it as someone else’s words.
Images Section:
Instructions: For each gallery, browse several images (7 or 8 minimum). Then write a 3 - 5 sentence reflection about what you learned about each part of the slave trade or what you thought of the images you saw.
