Slavery began in the British colonies in 1619 when 20 Africans arrived in Jamestown, Virginia. Originally, Africans had similar social status as indentured servants and could gain freedom. However, by the 1660s slavery evolved as a social and economic institution to meet the labor demands of cash crops. Africans were captured in Africa and subjected to the horrific Middle Passage to the Americas, where they were branded and shackled in cramped spaces, resulting in many deaths. Slavery was justified through racism and Africans were deemed better suited than Native Americans for the permanent, cheap labor of plantations. The triangular trade route profited immensely from this exploitation.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The law of supply and demand created turmoil in West Africa. The demand for slaves by
Europeanstriggered wars between African tribes. Local kings captured Africans in exchange for
guns, molasses, & rum. The trade route between Europe, Africa & the Americas is known as
Triangular Trade.

The Middle Passage must have been as near as anyone ever comes to hell on earth.- Barry Unsworth, author
WHY AFRICANS?
Native Americans were not suited for slavery because they had knowledge of the land. Additionally,
Native Americans experienced high mortality (death) rates from European diseases. Africans were
better suited for slavery because they were immune to most European diseases, had no means
(family, friends, knowledge of land) to escape in the Americas and were apermanent source of cheap
labor.
NORTH vs. SOUTH
Slavery in the SOUTH was the basis for their economy because of the plantation system. The
plantation system is a system of agricultural production based on large-scale land ownership and the
exploitation of labor and the environment. Production is usually concentrated on a cash crop. For
instance, the plantation system in the South produced tobacco, rice, sugar and cotton for the world
market.
The Northern climate and region were not conducive for large scale farming. In addition, Abolitionists
fought to end slavery. Eventually Northern colonies outlawed slavery.
