Atlantic Slave Trade and Human Trafficking

You will read two sources today on slavery. One is details the Atlantic Slave Trade of the early modern world, the other about human trafficking in the 21st century. Your task is to focus on the main ideas of each of the source's sections. 

FIRST:For each section (the bolded Titles within the reading) you are to come up with the FIVE main ideas of that section. To do this you are to make a question out of the heading – the five points should address the question or help answer the question. (The 2012 article can have less than 5 points for each section - however, if this is the case the points will be graded on QUALITY)

SECOND:When you complete the section, you are to develop a thesis statement / summary of the section. 

THIRD: When done with both sources, you need to write a short reflection in which you comment on the readings, as well as detail how the two readings are linked. 

**These should be posted to your blog**
