In Year 9 we're learning about the slave trade and how black people were treated when captured in Africa, also about how they were transported mostly from West Africa in either "Tight Pack" or "Loose Pack". Year 9 is also learning about whether they think that life on a plantation was good or not. To help them they are watching a film called "Roots" which is about a boy called "Kunta Kinte" that gets captured in Africa and transported to America, he then gets sold in an auction to a white, plantation owner(a man because in the 1500s woman would be extremely restricted and would call their husband "MASTER".
