Before we begin... Start off activity + Here is a little overview of Slavery in America (Good for studying for the test!!)

Introduction Activity. __**Before we begin...**__

This is just a little something to start off our thoughts on slavery. First we would like Mr. Wood (if not possible, another student) to come up in front of the class. Rachel and I would be slave traders, and our volunteer, the slave. The rest of the class will then start bidding on the value of the slave; not yet in money. They can ask questions on the condition of the slave, maybe throw some complaints about their physical features, etc. After thoroughly evaluating as a class the worth of this certain somebody, we will start the bid at $5. (Not that you're really worth only that much Mr. Wood). The bid will continue until the "slave" is auctioned off. After this, we will start into our presentation.
