Anticipatory Set: The anticipatory set for this lesson will be a brief discussion of how people get trapped into modern-day slavery and what governments and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are doing to counteract it.  The anticipatory set will serve to enforce the concept that social change can be accelerated when resources are provided and intelligent leadership is exercised.
