Slavery and the Underground Railroad + Harriet Tubman

The students once again did an amazing job with this readers' theatre!  After spending several weeks reading, writing, and working on differentiated profiler projects about slavery and the Underground Railroad in the United States, the students practiced and performed a readers' theatre on Harriet Tubman for their fourth grade peers.  It was another great museum day in our room as the students adorned our classroom with their murals, maps, and various other projects they chose to do.  As the other fourth grade classrooms entered they were immersed in visual images about slavery and the Underground Railroad.  The students love this type of sharing, and we are looking forward to our next museum day here in Mr. Braymer's classroom!
