Description
What was the role of racism and colonialism in the early U.S. colonies? Use these stations to prompt students to explore the origins of U.S. race-based slavery and colonialism. The stations cover topics like Bacon's Rebellion, the Pequot War, and slave codes of the 1600s-1700s.
ZIP FILE INCLUDES:
- 12 stations covering various topics about racism and colonialism in the U.S. colonies with corresponding questions for each station (PDF)
- Summarizing questions (PDF)
- Student handout for responding to the station questions (PDF)
- Answer key (PDF)
Check out the preview!
These 12 stations include a variety of sources for students to analyze, including:
- quotations,
- primary sources,
- secondary sources,
- maps, and
- images
Students will use these sources to answer critical thinking questions about race in early America.
Topics covered in the stations:
- Pequot War
- Bacon's Rebellion
- Origins of race-based slavery
- Plantations, cash crops, and greed
- Exploitation and dehumanization of enslaved peoples
- the Middle Passage
- Indigenous lands
- Roger Williams, Quakers, Shakers, and Moravians
- Massachusetts Bay seal
- Slave codes
- Great Seal of the United States & the influence of the Iroquois Confederacy
- Indigenous resistance
- The Powhatan Confederacy
- the importance of land in U.S. history
Ways to use this activity:
- Display stations around the room or provide students with access to the stations. Have students respond in a notebook, on paper, or on a teacher-generated handout. (My students respond to the prompts on Google Classroom or in their interactive notebook.)
- Have students complete this as a packet/set of worksheets. Since you have a key, this could work with a substitute!
- Use this as a jigsaw and have students teach each other about the material in their station.
I use this resource with 10th grade students in a U.S. History course to introduce how race and racism divided the colonial U.S. into distinct racial and economic groups. These stations provide context for the U.S. system of race-based, inheritable slavery. Additionally, the stations how settlers attacked indigenous peoples as they pursued land and private property.
