Toussaint L'Ouverture is one of the most remarkable people in the history of the western hemisphere. But I didn't learn about him at school either. I came across his name only much later. Well done for teaching the Haitian Revolution to your students!
I love everything about this lesson! Your choice in books, primary sources, the topic, and how you integrate pictures and travel information. Fire lesson!

I hate that he died, sick and alone, in a freezing French jail though. I wish I could give my students a happier ending.
Love the freedom soup. Great post!
Thanks Kay!

Thanks! It is so fun to teach!
I hope that one day you’ll be able to travel to all the places you teach.
Me too! Especially Congo :)
Jenna, I learn so much from you. Thanks for another wonderful post.
Oh thanks Mary :) I thought of you while attempting to cook a family recipe the other day.
