Describe the experience of a slave during the Middle Passage.

Slaves were usually forced to dance on the deck for a long time when they didnt want toeveryday to keep them fit. Any resistance to not dance was dealt with harshly by floggings from the crew. Some slaves wanted to kill themselves. There are accounts of slaves drowning by throwing themselves overboard rather than enduring any more. It was very rough for them :(

Explanation:

overview:

this is a technology-dependent lesson that students can guide at their own pace of exploration and learning. students share what they learn through the use of twitter (or alternative classroom sharing medium like todaysmeet). the use of a social sharing platform like twitter gives students a place for sharing with a wider audience, for more effective means of communication with each other, for incorporating viewpoints from all students in the classroom, and a means to reference thinking and learning by the use of a hashtag at a later time. students will understand the role the allied air forces played in the normandy invasion. teachers can use this as a stand-alone lesson or offer more structure by guiding students through each source, one by one. teachers may learn more about the eighth air force by accessing the abmc’s strategic bombing campaign interactive.
