$10.99

A side-by-side visual chart tracing the peoples who settled Trinidad and Tobago — who came, why, where they settled, and what remains today. Two matched charts, one for each island, built as the entry point into the Maps of Trinidad & Tobago Extended Learning Resources Hub.

Age Range / Grade Equivalent

Primary: ages 9–11 (Standard III–IV) | Secondary: ages 11–14 (Forms 1–3) US equivalent: Grades 4–8

(Per your labeling convention: age range listed first as primary, grade/standard equivalents secondary.)

Standard / Curriculum Alignment

  • T&T MOE Primary Social Studies — Standard III (“The Story of Trinidad and Tobago”) & Standard IV (“Our Nation”): History strand content covering the historical development of the nation — the Pre-Columbian Era, the coming of the Europeans, the coming of the Africans, the coming of the East Indians, and the Modern Era — paired with Geography strand map and physical-environment skills.
  • T&T MOE Secondary Forms 1–3 Social Sciences: Form 1 Geography “Population and Settlement” strand; Forms 1–3 History content building toward the peopling/colonization foundation used at CSEC Caribbean History level.

Note: this description references the strand and unit titles confirmed in the MOE primary and secondary Social Studies syllabi. If your product listings require the specific numbered outcome/objective code (e.g. a SS.4.x.x-style code), pull that from the official curriculum guide PDF before publishing — I haven’t located a numbered code for these strands, only the named unit and strand titles.

Description

Where did Trinidad and Tobago’s people come from — and how did they shape the map you see today? This comparative chart traces the full settlement story of both islands side by side, from the region’s original inhabitants through the waves of migration that built the nation.

Trinidad Edition covers seven groups: Amerindian, Spanish, French, British, African, Chinese, and East Indian — with when they arrived, why they came, where they settled, and what remains visible today in place names, culture, and community.

Tobago Edition tells a different story — Tobago changed hands roughly 33 times, more than any other Caribbean island. This chart traces its own six-group settlement chain: Amerindian, Courlander (Latvian), Dutch, French, British, and African — including the island’s distinct post-Emancipation village history.

Together, the two charts form a single reference resource that works for both a primary classroom studying “Our Nation” and a secondary classroom beginning the region’s colonization and settlement history — making this chart equally useful whether you teach Standard III/IV or Forms 1–3.

This is the entry-point resource for the Maps of Trinidad & Tobago Extended Learning Resources Hub, which includes curriculum-aligned maps, worksheets, and activities for both islands.
