The document discusses conditions on slave ships, which were horrible. It describes how slaves were tightly packed into ships, often leading to many deaths from disease. It also mentions the use of shackles to restrain slaves and how rebellions sometimes occurred but were rarely successful. Homework assignments involve reading about the selling of Joseph and runaway notices, and a class activity has students creating a foldable representation of a slave ship with labeled inside and outside facts.
