This 9-slide PowerPoint teaches students about slavery in the South in America during the 1800s. It shows the classes of people on a pyramid hierarchy diagram and describes slave codes, slave work, family life, and religion for slaves, as well as how Harriet Tubman gave hope to slaves. At the end, students are asked to write a diary entry as a slave.

I have been teaching grades 7 and 8 Language Arts and Social Studies at De Anza Academy of Technology & the Arts in Ventura, California since 2001. I have also briefly taught high school ESL (grades 9-12), and I spent one month teaching English in Moscow, Russia.
