Computer Lab Activity for Thursday 10/23/08 3rd Block ONLY
Research the Underground Railroad using the Internet links I have posted on EdLine. You may fully explore those sites - but please limit your surfing to authorized sites only.
Prepare a blog report about the Underground Railroad summarizing what you have learned from your surfing. This should be a minimum of 2 well developed paragraphs.
Now the FUN part...Pretend you are an abolitionist and must plan the escape route of a group of runaway slaves. Plan an escape route through your county! Where will the slaves enter the county? Where will the slaves exit the county? What "stations" (safe houses) have you prepared? You may use the first names of your classmates (not last names) as station masters as you plan the escape route. Always have a back up plan!!! What if something goes wrong?
Read some of your classmates Blogs and comment on a few.
Do you need a map? Look online - but please do not refer to your county by name for security purposes!
