Classroom Activities

Time Line

Students will create a historical timeline showing the significant dates and events briefly summarized in the Historical Content Section.  They will use the timeline to analyze events from 1820-1853 to grasp the significance of those events within the Abolition Movement. 

Venn and Compare/Contrast Diagrams 

To compare and contrast selections of the focus narratives, students will use various graphic organizers such as Venn and Compare/Contrast diagrams.  Utilization of the graphic organizers will assist in the differentiation of information for struggling readers and English Language Learners (ELL).  Also, a good number of my students are several Lexiles below grade level in reading, so graphic organizers work particularly well for them.
