Summary: |
|
| Begins with a prologue in which the authors each address their research process on this topic. A detailed history of sugar and the effects of its production on the world. Sugar cane drove the Atlantic slave which is explained in this book using songs, oral histories and illustrations putting a human face on the historical narrative. This work contains primary source photographs and maps. All you ever wanted or needed to know about sugar. | |
Teaching Ideas: |
|
| Use as an example of how research is done. Teach text structures with its many nonfiction elements. A KWL to determine what students know will be insightful here. Even just the question, "What does sugar have to do with slavery?" would prove a good introduction to the book. Discuss the sequence of causes and effects in the book. | |
