Description
Need a variety of ways to introduce Harriet Tubman to your young learners? Need ideas for introducing this American Hero to your class? Here is the set for you.
Harriet Tubman is the face of the best in the worst of our history. She is a model for who we want our students to be: courageous in the face of adversity, relentless in the search for freedom, and devoted to helping others. Sadly, we know her story because she had those virtues in the worst of times.
The atrocities of slavery cannot be swept under the carpet or ignored because it hurts to acknowledge the the facts.
Teaching our youngest learners about American Heroes like Harriet Tubman can be tricky. Her life, along with all those who were enslaved, was full of pain and fear. Navigating the language and basic vocabulary of the time for our youngest learners can be difficult. Using fun activities like word searches or quilt addition facts is not meant to diminish their pain, fear, and heartbreak. It is merely to have student interact with words and concepts at an introductory level.
