Bill Velto, World History – Slavery and Human Trafficking, Upper School History
This large scale project involved three parts:
1.) Student groups selected a type of slavery in the United States – sex trafficking, farm workers, domestic labor, industry/factories, restaurants, construction, or seasonal tourism/hospitality. Groups created a wiki on Haiku that provided a summary of the issue, along with two case studies.
2.) Groups took the knowledge they gained from Part I of the Project and created a 30-60 second public service announcement (PSA) video about your type of slavery (see below).
3.) Finally, student campaigns had to target audiences beyond Cary Academy’s community. Campaigns could include letters to the editor/op-ed writing, social media, and podcasts. The PSA created in Part II of the Project could be used in this final segment of the campaign.
Students worked along with Steven O’Neil in the Video Studio for creation of their products.
