Resources for Slavery/TT Paragraph

Happy Wednesday!  Because of testing, I don't see all my classes until tomorrow.  You should be working on your paragraphs, so I am going to give you some resources to help you with that if you need it.

For starters, here is the Paragraph Scoring Guide.  If you want to know what you're going to be graded on, this is a good place to look.

If writing a paragraph is difficult for you, use the General Paragraph Outline Shell to help you get your thoughts down on paper.  Please make sure to write out your thoughts in full sentences, and then put them on separate paper!

The Abolition Project has a very good graphic that explains some of the ways that slavery fed into Triangle Trade.  

Boundless.com has a more detailed article about much the same thing, if you want to go a little deeper.

Slavery in Virginia has a good discussion of what slaves did for work in one colony after they were bought for labor.

The chart below is from the Colonial Williamsburg site that I shared with you in class:

Let me know if you need any other particular information.
