Essential Information Key Stage Key Stage 3 School Subject History Resource Type Teacher notes Pre-visit preparations The key question we will investigate at the museum is 'How did enslavement impact peoples’ identities?' allowing us to investigate what happened to enslaved people, but also how they responded and resisted. To allow us to engage fully with these topics, before attending the session it would be useful if students already have considered in class: Africa before Transatlantic Enslavement The Transatlantic Slave Trade System The Atlantic Crossing (Middle Passage) Plantation Conditions Students will still be able to engage with the enquiry day without this background knowledge but we recommend that the day will be more productive and students will be able to engage with museum resources more fully having covered these ideas in advance. The themes pages on the Understanding Slavery Initiative website has pages dedicated to these topics with background information that teachers may find useful in preparing students and studying histories of Transatlantic Enslavement. Teachers can also download the Unlocking Perceptions handbook for support in approaching and working with histories of Transatlantic Enslavement. Post Visit Materials - Legacies of Enslavement and Identity The legacies of transatlantic enslavement continue to shape the world we live in. To help teachers and students investigate this we have created a series of video resources. Together they allow students to investigate the question 'How do the legacies of Transatlantic Enslavement impact people and their identity today?' Scroll through the videos and questions below.
