  1. Write down everything you do in a typical day from when you get up, to when you go to bed e.g 7.45am I get up and get dressed 8.45am I get to school etc

  2. Compare your normal day with a slaves normal day! 5.30am-Go straight to the fields. Take breakfast with you. Work until 8.00am. Latecomers whipped. 8.00am-Stop for breakfast. Boiled yam and okra seasoned with salt and pepper. 8.30am-Continue with work 12.00pm-Rest and Lunch: salted meat or pickled fish. 2.00pm-Start work again. 6.00pm-Return to huts Night-time-During the harvest season, work in the mill through the night.

  3. Stoke City 3 - Man Utd 1 Your Task:- In the back of your books write a short report from the point of view of the team that you have been given. For example, a Stoke supporter may say the following:- We deserved the win. We could have won the game by more if we had put our chances away. A Man Utd supporter may say:- We were unlucky really. Stoke’s goals were lucky. If Delap had not been on, they would not have scored any.

  4. Why Do Historians Disagree about Life On The Plantations?

  5. What is a plantation? It is a farm that grows only one crop – such as tobacco, sugar or cotton. Slaves were used to do all of the hard work whilst the white owners collected the profits.

  6. So, why do historians disagree about the life of people on the plantations? Historian One: Life on the Plantations was easy for the slaves. They got to work outside in the pleasant sunshine and spent time with their families. Historian Two: Life on the Plantations was hard, back breaking work. Slaves were often treated badly and had little time to look after their families.

  7. We all interpret evidence in different ways • Story writers, historians, artists, museums. • History is always changing! • Beware of interpretations – they can be wrong.

  8. Beware of BIAS. This is when a person only considers one side of the story. Why might they do this? • Liverpool 1 Man Utd 0 • Liverpool battered the devils in a fantastic match. Man Utd were useless. Written By A.Scouser (from Liverpool)

  9. Read each of the interpretations of the football match on the sheet and answer the following questions: • What can we be certain actually happened? • In the different statements what are facts and what are opinions? • What are the differences between the interpretations? • How can the differences in the interpretations be explained? • Which interpretation do you think is the most reliable (trustworthy) and why? • What have you learned from this exercise about the difficulties a historian may have when faced with different interpretations?

  10. Look at this picture……. What might be happening in this picture? Could you be mistaken? Might it be something else?

  11. This is a plantation What is happening here? Describe what you see.

  12. Here is a scene from life on a plantation. • What are they doing? • Is it hard work? • Would you like to do it? • Would you do it for NOTHING? No pay? h

  13. Examine this scene. How do they look? What are their clothes like? What do you think they have been doing? How old are they? How do you think they are feeling?

  14. Look at these living conditions… Who would live in a house like this? (IT IS FROM A PLANTATION!)

  15. Now look at these homes…. • Who would live in a house like this? • How is it different from the previous house? • Can you point out any of the positive aspects of the house?

  16. Why do historians disagree about life on the plantations? • Bias affects our judgment. • Evidence can be looked at in several ways. • Opinions are our personal views on a subject. • Let’s try to be biased to show how historians can disagree with each other……….. • Split into two groups – historian one and two. Use the sources to create a biased view of life on the plantations

  17. Evidence

  18. You can also use written sources.
