Today we were learning why different groups of people in society were important in the campaign to abolish the slave trade. To achieve this we split into groups and looked at information on our assigned group. Then we discussed, using our teamworking skills, which tactics we thought would be the most efffective for our group to use.
Today we were learning about the different people who were involved in trying to get the Slave Trade abolished and developing our ‘finding information’ skills. We achieved this by watching clips from the 2006 film ‘Amazing Grace’, making notes on the abolition movement, and the people involved.
In Social Studies this week we were developing our skills in using primary and secondary sources to research past events. We were learning about the Transatlantic Slave Trade, often known as the ‘Triangular Trade’. We then used our skills to plot a summary of the Transatlantic Slave Trade onto a world map.
