Harriet Tubman Home Project



Below is the sheet that is coming home tonight for the Harriet Tubman project.  Please work with your child to come up with something they will be excited about.  If you have an idea that isn't on the list please ask me first.  The rubric is also attached on the sheet that I sent home.

Please choose one project to do at home.  You may have help with your project.

          *Design a quilt from either fabric or paper.  This was
            Harriet’s prized possession.

          *Make a shoebox diorama of a scene from the book.

          *Write a letter to Harriet Tubman.  Express your opinion on
           slavery and what she did to help so many people.

          *Draw a “wanted” poster of Harriet Tubman.  Remember to
            include key information such as her description, what she is
            wanted for, the amount of reward offered, etc.

          *Make a model of Harriet’s log cabin.  Be creative!  No
          Legos, please.  Your own creative ideas are the best!

          *Draw a map of Harriet’s journey.  Be sure to include a
           title, key, etc.  Color it.

          *Make a game that has something to do with Harriet  
           Tubman or slavery.  Include a rule sheet.

          *Do you have another idea?  Please ask me about it before
            you do it.  I enjoy your creative ideas!

Your project is due on Friday, March 1st.   It will be graded, and you will be presenting to your class.  Have fun!
