Wrapping Up Harriet Tubman


We are finishing up our Harriet Tubman unit this week. We have already finished the book, but still have a few things we're working on.
- All the students share their Harriet Tubman home project with the class before we put them out in the hallway. They share how they made them and what makes them authentic to the time. If the students made games we play them in class.
- We are also writing a summary of Harriet's life in class. Those papers will be hung out in the hallway with their projects.
- On Friday about ten students from Mrs. Moen's class and our class will present a reader's workshop about Harriet's life.
- Finally, on Friday we will watch a video where a young man from modern times gets sent back to the era of Harriet Tubman.

I found a great website about the Underground Railroad that I had intended to share with the class, but we ran out of time. I'll put in on the blog if students are interested.
