This download includes a 1-page introduction reading that explains all about the case of the Amistad, from the capture of Africans in Sierra Leone through to the Supreme Court case. There are then 6 excellent primary source documents for your students to analyze. Each includes an actual image of the document along with a typed, easy-to-read transcription of the text. Additionally, each includes a QR code that links to a full-color online high-resolution version of the document. Great for getting your students to put their devices to educational use in class!
Finally, there is a worksheet that students complete based on the documents that can be done in cooperative learning groups or individually. A brief directions page explains how I use the resource in my classes. An answer key is included as well for your convenience.
