First Quarter
We will be reading the novel, Elijah of Buxton.
We will begin our unit learning all about the underground railroad in the 1800's, how slaves escaped to areas that accepted them, and a specific colony in Canada that was built for runaway slaves. Students will use an interactive multimedia text set to learn background knowledge. Then the students will read the novel that interweaves a story of a boy living in a Canada with his parents and how he understood what the runaway slaves had to endure for their freedom. |
