Lesson Content
Review what the students have learned so far about the
Underground Railroad and what it was like being a slave on a
plantation.
Ask them what they would do if they were a slave. Then introduce
the escape part of the simulation.
Explain how scary and difficult it was to escape the plantation.
Remind them that they need listen for facts about the escaping part
of the Underground Railroad.
Go through the entire escape part of the simulation.
Discuss each icon with the students and have them whisper to a
partner what they were learning.
After you have gone through the escape simulation, have them
express their opinions on what they would do and how they would
escape.
Write their responses on the board.
Give them some time to draw/write in their journals about todays
simulation.
