The enquiry ends with a formative assessment knowledge review and a free writing task where students have the freedom to answer the puzzle of the enquiry question with few prompts aside from some key historical language and a model to guide them.
Huge thanks to the history community!

The stories focused around Liverpool are great for building a sense of depth into their understanding of the impact of the slave trade and also its legacies on places like Liverpool. It's great to also share with students the book Liverpool and the Transatlantic Slave Trade and who is behind it.

The enquiry then moves to Britain looking at the impact of the Slave Trade in Liverpool and also 'beyond the metropole' looking at local stories like Harewood House and Nunnington Hall - thanks to the ideas of @cpalmerhistory.bsky.social for influencing this.

The enquiry then looks at the changes to the Caribbean - influenced by the Liverpool book and the Changing Histories series we use the story of Mahogany to focus on both the environmental impact and the human impact of the plantations.

Students then focus on learning about the Middle Passage - studying the story of the slave ship The Zong, the story of Olaudah Equiano and crucially focusing on the resistance of African people on the voyages.

Students then focus on the impact of the Slave Trade on the Gold Coast - focusing on how the slave trade impacted West Africa using some of the fab scholarship from Jim Walvin (who was one of my lecturers at York University in the 1990s)

The enquiry begins in West Africa where its crucial to tell students the story of West Africa before the Slave Trade - students have already done on an enquiry on Mali in Year 7
