In a close reading of "The Overseer" chapter from Sugar Changed the World, groups focus on the words Aronson and Budhos use to contrast the lifestyles of enslaved people and their enslavers. The whole class then engages in an evidence-based discussion of the impact these words and phrases have on readers and how they are specifically chosen to support the central argument of the text.
