What’s Your Goal?

◦I can work in a collaborative group to learn more about a topic.

◦I can use technology to access credible information.

◦I can create informative writing compositions to teach my peers.

◦Introduction

◦Slavery predates writing and can be found in almost all cultures and continents. ◦Historically, most slaves were initially captured in wars or kidnapped in isolated raids but some were sold into slavery by their parents as a means of surviving extreme conditions.

◦African American slavery however, is unique though in that it was based not on any of the traditional reasons for enslavement. Instead,

◦African American Slavery was based on a new concept called race.

Choice Board Activity

◦Directions:

◦Your group has been assigned specific questions that all relate to the overarching theme: SLAVERY.

◦You will use the information on your handout to access the resources needed to complete your assigned research questions.

◦How will you deliver the information to your classmates?

I can create informative writing compositions to teach my peers.

Choice Board

(Blue Sheet)

Create a song that goes along with an instrumental song of your choice. Your

lyrics should TEACH everyone else about the topic you’ve researched.

the classroom wall. Your poster should present key information in a colorful,

researched. 

Your GoAnimate should include at least two

characters and switch scenes at least 5 times.

informative and engage the audience. You will need to create specific characters

If you have your own idea, please let me know!

Create a Prezi that has at least one video in addition to the key information you feel

the class needs to know about the information you’ve

researched!

Write a personal reflection as if you are a person involved in this specific time period/place. How would you feel? What would you

see? What might you hear? 

(This should be engaging and at least 1 ½-2 pages.)

you feel about your progress.
