Instructional Ideas

  • Assign groups various products and have them map the route item followed to reach their table

Classroom Considerations

  • The unit uses Marc Aronson and Marina Budhos' Sugar Changed the World: A Story of Magic, Spice, Slavery, Freedom, and Science as a central text
  • The fourth in a 28-lesson unit, designed to directly address Common Core reading and writing standards for grade 9, focuses on helping writers develop the skills they need to develop well-crafted arguments supported by solid evidence

Pros

  • The 9-page packet includes a detailed plan, discussion questions, and model responses
  • The supplemental article alerts readers to the benefits and drawbacks of the patterns detailed in Aronson and Budhos' book 

Cons

  • None
