Evaluation
There were several reasons for
having you plan an escape to freedom.
-
We wanted you to know about the painful
yet rich history of African Americans.
-
We also wanted you to have an opportunity
to find information about slavery on the Internet and then use the information
to solve the problem of how to escape safely from slavery.
-
We also wanted you to understand how
the subjects (English/Language Arts, Social Studies, Science, Mathematics,
Technology and Art) you learn in school are related and can be used to
solve problems.
-
Finally, we wanted you to have an
opportunity to work with other students.
Know that like the many runaway slaves
with much determination and hard work you too can be successful at whatever
you do.
The outcome of your experience
should be:
-
a map showing how you might safely
escape from slavery; your map should have included identify freed and slaved
states, safe havens, signs/codes, routes and weather you will look face
as well as possible food that you might eat
-
quilt patterns of the Underground
Railroad
-
a chart of food items you might eat
on your escape from slavery
-
a song that uses at least 5 code words
that the slaves used to let others know about your plans to run away
If you did all of what was asked of
you then you have done an exemplary job of planning your escape to freedom.
