Directions: Today we will be learning about the Transatlantic Slave Trade, and how it impacted the Americas, not just Virginia. I am handing out a Student Framework to each of you. As we work through the PowerPoint, you will be asked to record information onto your framework. I will be collecting this at the end of class for a grade. It will also be used on the final project, so write neatly. In addition, feel free to ask questions, or clarify information as we go through the presentation.

Independent Practice Turn to the chart on pg. 4. This will be graded so take your time and do your best! First, you will cut out the images, flags, maps, and quotes on pg. 5. Next, lay them under the regional heading you believe it best describes on your chart (pg. 4). Finally, when you are satisfied they are all correct, glue them down. Turn in your packet before you leave.
