An Evening with Harriet Tubman and The Underground Railroad


We have been studying how to find distances on a map using map scales, a ruler, and proportions . We took a glance at how our African ancestors may have traveled through the Middle Passage. Now, this weekend we will travel with Harriet Tubman and other abolitionists as they risk their lives to free slaves from southern states in America. What cities will you go to?? How far will you travel?? Plan 10 escape routes and put yourself in their shoes. Be sure to record where you will escape from and where you will escape to. Also, be sure to follow the scale and record your calculations. Discuss why you chose these routes and how you feel being with Harriet Tubman.
