Lesson plans

The lesson plan pages contain lessons from the three cohorts of Teaching Slavery in Scotland which have been divided by theme, rather than by cohort.

In the first two iterations of TSS, participants were encouraged to work in small groups to produce a connected sequence of lessons. In 2024-25, participants worked individually to produce standalone lessons on topics which interested them.

Lessons are organised under the following headings.

Africa and the Slave Trade

Slavery in the Caribbean

Britain and Slavery

Slavery and the Atlantic.
