Instructional Ideas

  • Project the first three images and have individuals record their responses before conducting a whole class discussion

Classroom Considerations

  • Requires individual copies of Marc Aronson and Marina Budhos' Sugar Changed the World: A Story of Magic, Spice, Slavery, Freedom, and Science, the central text of the unit
  • The focus of the one-unit module is on helping writers develop the skills they need to develop well-crafted arguments supported by solid evidence
  • The seventh in a 28-lesson unit designed to directly address Common Core reading and writing standards for grade 9

Pros

  • The images show that little has changed since the eighteenth century in terms of conditions for cane workers
  • The 16-page packet includes a detailed plan, discussion questions with sample responses, a template for the image analysis tool, and a template key

Cons

  • None
