Description: In the second workshop, we’ll tackle the tricky significance of representation in the American Revolution — what did revolution mean for enslaved African Americans, and how can their histories inform our teaching of a more inclusive, compelling, and representative story of independence?   Focusing on world-building and narrative, we’ll explore how teaching through individuals’ perspectives can help students understand the context and complexities of this transatlantic conflict: significant for who?  Teacher takeaways:   Curated, classroom-ready sources from The London Archives and other archive partners to get students closer to crucial 18th century documents  Ready-to-teach editable slides recapping the stories in brief  Ideas for incorporating stories into your existing schemes of work  Access to our Substack and website, apeopleshistory.uk
