Homeschool Day: Underground Railroad
The year is 1859 and James Buchanan is president. Few people have heard of Abraham Lincoln. Slavery, illegal in Ohio due to the Northwest Ordinance, is practiced throughout the south. Ohio played a key part in the Underground Railroad.
It’s 1859 and the nation is on the brink of Civil War. Students will observe and interview villagers to understand the Underground Railroad and identify the secret “conductor.”
*This program is outside, so please have the students dress for the weather. *
As part of the program students gather together to determine which individual in the village is the conductor. This period is also a debriefing time and a chance to process the experience and share what they have learned. The presenters will facilitate this discussion particularly focusing on the objectives for their specific grade.
