A power point to explain how the slave trade started and worked in the Americas. What was the triangular trade? What was the middle passage? How did it work (from being kidnapped to being sold at auction)?
There are extracts from the book by Olaudah Equiano as well to illustrate the powerpoint and many pictures.
I use this power point to introduce the passive voice (they were captured etc.) and to get the pupils to use this voice as much as possible. There are examples on the power point but my pupils found other sentences as well.
