Eleventh graders explore the era of slavery when Jefferson was President. In this United States History instructional activity, 11th graders participate in a class discussion that is led by the teacher.  A PowerPoint presentation on the topic is included for the class to review. After the class discussion, the students break into groups and pick a topic to research and answer questions about, such as The Declaration of Independence, Slave Runaways or Images from Monticello.
