This lesson poses the question: Do we profit from slavery today?It uses multi-media clips about Nike and Apple as well as a song called "Are My Hands Clean"

Very fun, good way to incorporate music into the classroom and to change things up!
Each philosopher can only be used once, but students can build their case with enough evidence to support their choice. Some artists are easy, others are more on the line.

American Revolution Parody, Henry VIII Parody, and Parody Song Project
This is the perfect activity for the hands-on history class ready to flex their creative muscles.
