Read about and research UGRR. Field Trip

Objective: Students will read and learn more about the UGRR and begin to compare it to the 20th Century Civil Rights Movement.

Activity: Students will read about the UGRR in text books, on the Internet or in other books as available (e.g. a biography of Harriet Tubman or others involved in the UGRR.) The class will take a field trip. Class questions to be answered after the trip will be centered on how the UGRR and the Movement of the 1950’s and 60’s are alike. Students should identify 20th Century leaders who moved ahead to guide others and methods used to lead African -Americans to equality.

Assessment: Tests on text and class material to evaluate student knowledge of basic information.
