The short film A Statue For A Slaver presents a brief explanation of transatlantic slavery, the role of slave traders and plantation owners, the triangle of trade, conditions for slaves and dates of abolition. The lesson plan then leads to discussion of modern slavery.
The antislavery movement was the first major campaign in Britain to involve ordinary citizens across all classes (as well as the slaves themselves) in the struggle to end the practice. As such it is a good example of how change can come about when people work together for a just cause.

The booklet is the result of a collaboration between the Citizenship Foundation and the Church Mission Society.

This is a challenging set of 20 research questions for a 20th Century American History class studying the decade 1900-1909.
The questions are organized chronologically, and there are two questions per year in most cases. Here is what is GREAT about this assignment: it's fully customizable! For instance, you might use only 10 of these questions instead of the 20 in the packet. You might choose 5 of the questions and ask students to conduct in-depth research for a full-length report. The possibilities are endless!
I decided to make a research assignment that went beyond basic questions like "Which president was assassinated in 1901?" and "Which city did the Hurricane of 1900 destroy?" Instead, I opted for questions that required strong critical thinking skills and better research skills and - above all - taught an appreciation for 20th Century American history.
An overview of Quakers and some of the important issues that they take a stand on - Peace, Simplicity, The Environment etc.
A great denomination to use to highlight the diversity that exists within one religion.
Quakers also don't have the outer sacraments as they take the view that all of life is sacramental and the outer sacraments invite hypocrisy.
