Please see my 4 posters RI4.3 Mega Bundle that includes everything here. 20 task cards 4 writing centers I hope you find my materials useful. Either way, please leave me feedback. I’d love to know that you are enjoying my creations, or I’d appreciate feedback that would help me to improve the materials for my own use! I don’t know about you, but I was very frustrated with trying to figure out exactly what this standard would look like in my classroom. It seems very comprehensive, and redundant to some other standards. I spent a lot of time researching the various components of this standard, and came up with my own best way to teach this. Please check out my Mega Bundle for all my 4.3 resources described below, and pictured above. It is currently priced at $3.50. Included in this package: Keynote file to use for teaching concepts (editable). Quicktime version (with animations by clicking) for those without access to Keynote. Task cards, with recording sheet, to practice identifying various forms of the 4 types of writing (narrative, expository, technical, persuasive). Two sheets for additional practice with identifying forms of text. I use these inside sheet protectors to allow those who need extra practice to use with dry erase markers. Posters to hang for the 4 different types of text. Posters to hang for writing center activities to practice being an author of the 4 types of text. Two sheets to use in interactive notebooks. If you are not familiar, these are materials used in student created notebooks (usually composition notebooks). They provide students with a reference for each standard that they can access throughout the year. Two practice pages with a selection and questions for historic, scientific, and technical writing. That’s 6 worksheets in all. Answer keys for everything! Suggestions for implementing. Historic Text - Harriet Tubman Name ____________________________________________ Date _________________ DIRECTIONS: Use your keys to Historic Text to comprehend the passage below, and answer the questions that follow. Underground Railroad was a system that helped slaves in the southern United States escape to the northern United States, Canada, and other places that didn’t allow slavery during the mid-1800’s. The system was neither underground nor a railroad. Americans called it the Underground Railroad because of the secret way in which the slaves escaped. Thousands of slaves used the Underground Railroad to escape to freedom; however, many were not successful. Many white people, and free black people, provided runaways with food, clothing, directions, and places to hide. The Underground Railroad got its name around 1830, and helped slaves for the next 30 years. Harriet Tubman A few people became famous for their contributions to the Underground Railroad. Levi Coffin and Thomas Garrett, who were members of the Society of Friends, also known as the Quakers, helped at least 5,000 slaves escape. William Still was known as the “father of the Underground Railroad.” He sheltered hundreds of fugitives in his Philadelphia home. One of the most famous was Harriet Tubman. A runaway slave herself, Tubman returned to the South 19 times and helped about 300 people escape to freedom. The underground railroad showed the determination of a small group of Americans to end slavery. Its success angered many people. It also added to the problems between North and South that led to the American Civil War (1861-1865). 1. Using this selection, what happened during this period of history and why?

Durham The State of State History in Tennessee in 2008 The Underground Railroad in Tennessee to 1865 A Report by State Historian Walter T. Durham Tennessee State Library and Archives Department of State Nashville, Tennessee 37243 Jeanne D. Sugg State Librarian and Archivist Department of State, Authorization No. 305294, 2000 copies November 2008. This public document was promulgated at a cost of $1.77 per copy. Preface and Acknowledgments In 2004 and again in 2006, I published studies called The State of State History in Tennessee. The works surveyed the organizations and activities that preserve and interpret Tennessee history and bring it to a diverse public. This year I deviate by making a study of the Under- ground Railroad in Tennessee and bringing it into the State of State History series. No prior statewide study of this re- markable phenomenon has been produced, a situation now remedied. During the early nineteenth century, the number of slaves escaping the South to fi nd freedom in the northern states slowly increased. The escape methodologies and ex- perience, repeated over and over again, became known as the Underground Railroad. In the period immediately after the Civil War a plethora of books and articles appeared dealing with the Underground Railroad. Largely written by or for white men, the accounts contained recollections of the roles they played in assisting slaves make their escapes. There was understandable exag- geration because most of them had been prewar abolitionists who wanted it known that they had contributed much to the successful fl ights of a number of slaves, oft times at great danger to themselves.

  • Abolitionist Movement
    Abolitionist Movement The goal of the abolitionist movement was the immediate emancipation of all slaves and the end of racial discrimination and segregation. Advocating for immediate emancipation distinguished abolitionists from more moderate anti-slavery advocates who argued for gradual emancipation, and from free-soil activists who sought to restrict slavery to existing areas and prevent its spread further west. Radical abolitionism was partly fueled by the religious fervor of the Second Great Awakening, which prompted many people to advocate for emancipation on religious grounds. Abolitionist ideas became increasingly prominent in Northern churches and politics beginning in the 1830s, which contributed to the regional animosity between North and South leading up to the Civil War. The Underground Railroad c.1780 - 1862 The Underground Railroad, a vast network of people who helped fugitive slaves escape to the North and to Canada, was not run by any single organization or person. Rather, it consisted of many individuals -- many whites but predominantly black -- who knew only of the local efforts to aid fugitives and not of the overall operation. Still, it effectively moved hundreds of slaves northward each year -- according to one estimate, the South lost 100,000 slaves between 1810 and 1850. Still, only a small percentage of escaping slaves received assistance from the Underground Railroad. An organized system to assist runaway slaves seems to have begun towards the end of the 18th century. In 1786 George Washington complained about how one of his runaway slaves was helped by a "society of Quakers, formed for such purposes." The system grew, and around 1831 it was dubbed "The Underground Railroad," after the then emerging steam railroads.

  • Underground Railroad Byway Delaware
    Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway Delaware Chapter 3.0 Intrinsic Resource Assessment The following Intrinsic Resource Assessment chapter outlines the intrinsic resources found along the corridor. The National Scenic Byway Program defines an intrinsic resource as the cultural, historical, archeological, recreational, natural or scenic qualities or values along a roadway that are necessary for designation as a Scenic Byway. Intrinsic resources are features considered significant, exceptional and distinctive by a community and are recognized and expressed by that community in its comprehensive plan to be of local, regional, statewide or national significance and worthy of preservation and management (60 FR 26759). Nationally significant resources are those that tend to draw travelers or visitors from regions throughout the United States. National Scenic Byway CMP Point #2 An assessment of the intrinsic qualities and their context (the areas surrounding the intrinsic resources). The Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway offers travelers a significant amount of Historical and Cultural resources; therefore, this CMP is focused mainly on these resource categories. The additional resource categories are not ignored in this CMP; they are however, not at the same level of significance or concentration along the corridor as the Historical and Cultural resources. The resources represented in the following chapter provide direct relationships to the corridor story and are therefore presented in this chapter. A map of the entire corridor with all of the intrinsic resources displayed can be found on Figure 6. Figures 7 through 10 provide detailed maps of the four (4) corridors segments, with the intrinsic resources highlighted. This Intrinsic Resource Assessment is organized in a manner that presents the Primary (or most significant resources) first, followed by the Secondary resources.
