Summary: The "Crossing the Atlantic" simulation was originally conceived by Dr. Jennifer Ponder. Using her work, Dr. Christy Keeler prepared the lesson plan and slides available at http://coe.nevada.edu/ckeeler/SSM/Materials/CrossingtheAtlantic/Crossing_the_Atlantic.html. The online lesson plan and that delivered in class vary slightly. The in-class version is set in 1620; the online lesson is set in 1890. Below, you will find links to the slideshow and related videos used in this module. Download each of the files and place them in a single folder to assist in aligning the resources into a single slideshow.
