Overview
Following a Social Studies unit on Slavery and a novel study of Underground to Canada by Barbara Smucker, the students and I brainstormed for possible topics we could research to have a better understanding of the problems the black people faced.
The students collected information from the internet, videos, and a variety of books. They were required to take jot notes, make an outline, rough copy, revise and edit before finishing their good copy.
Students created a PowerPoint presentation. After their presentation was complete they made up Quia activities as a follow up student activity for other students to do. Also, using information from their report, students made questions with answers that could be used in a Jeopardy game. Using a PowerPoint template for a Jeopardy type challenge game, it was very easy to add our own questions and answers. As an extension to this activity, I would like to use Publisher to create a classroom newspaper called “ The Underground Times”. Objectives
