Summary
Aim:
To explore how slavery has been a feature of society globally over the centuries. Materials:
• Copies of the Four Ages of Slavery text boxes (pages 4-5)
• Copies of the World Map (below) - one per group
• A large classroom world map and ‘Post-it stickers'

Method:
Divide the group into pairs or small groups. Each small group gets several copies of one of the Four Ages of Slavery and a photocopy of the world map. The groups read their text and identify all the place names. They have to find out where these places are (or were) with the help of atlases, encyclopedias and other material (history books, etc.). They mark them in their own maps.
