Plantation Life: 1) According to the video, explain at least three of the hardships facing slaves on southern plantations during the antebellum period in the South. Which hardship do you think was worst? Why? 2) Describe the chores fulfilled by house slaves.

How many slaves were there on large plantations? 5) Describe the living quarters of many slaves in the South. 6) What were slaves on some plantations allowed to have in addition to their regular diet?

Each collaborative SS group will produce 5 questions for the rest of the class to answer on their Meso-american civilization. Each person in a group is producing ONE question to give to the leader for the class to answer. Think of some questions that I may ask on your next test and create one of those using your own knowledge of your Meso-american civilization. Questions: Leaders should decide who is comfortable preparing a recall (what, which, who) question, or a comprehension question (How, Why) - Leaders of groups of four students should be preparing two questions. Leaders should be preparing comprehension style questions. If you are having trouble constructing a question, see me tomorrow at your Advisory period and I can help you. 2 group questions can be Who, What, or Which type of questions 3 group questions have to be How or Why questions On Monday, leaders will be submitting their questions to me for other groups in their class to answer. It is NOT the responsibility of leaders to chase down group members for questions. Anyone who does not complete their question will receive a zero for their homework assignment.
