The video will be given to schools in the area. I need help getting info. I'd like some help in finding activities that would help children in the fifth grade learn more about the Underground Railroad. We are an inner city school with a cuturally as well as economically diverse student body. We use a method of curriculum integration called the Scottish Storyline method which we learned in Glasgow, Scotland.
Storyline uses a story as the basis for integrating the curriculum.
Although the teacher plans the basic outline of the story, it is up to the teacher and the children collaboratively to create the story as it unfolds in the classroom. We have just beugn a Storyline topic on the Underground Railroad. The book is written by a Canadian and we are adapting a Storyline written in Scotland. We are creating a script which uses the Underground Railroad as a lens to discuss issues of freedom and justice in our lives. Stageworks is based in South Jersey.
