Preparing to Lecture

Somehow we have gotten ourselves into the predicament of teaching a Modern Western Civilizations course for a day. At this point, it seems an insurmountable task, and the pressure is on. However, I do believe that it will all go well.
Our title thus far: The Colonial Experiment: Power and Race in the Caribbean. The main focus will be from Columbus' "discovery" of the 'New World' until the Haitian Revolution. That gives us roughly an hour to cover 300 years of history. Oy vey, what have we done?? Anyhow, by tomorrow the PowerPoint presentation will be ready, as well as the handout and I will try to link them up here.
