Genre: Non-fiction
Grade Level: 1-4
Brief Synopsis: This is a story about Harriet the main character. When she was a little girl she escaped from slavery to get away. This story takes you through her journey to find freedom. She eventually rescuses her family from the south and brings them to Canada where there is freedom.
Theme/Skill: Slavery/ Social Studies/Suffering
Pre-activity: Create a concept map with the word slave in the middle. Ask the students what comes to mind when they first hear the word Slave.
Post-activity: Have the students create a KWL chart about slavery.
My Refection of the book persuading people to read it:
I feel this is a great book to introduce the Social Studies topic on Slavery. The illustrations and words create a sense of the harsh slavery. The book is very knowledgable and it opens students eyes about what happened in their own country many many years ago.
