Elizabeth B.April 2, 2019Oh my word! My students LOVED this presentation! We used these code words in conjunction with quilt patterns to discuss how people moved along the Underground Railroad, and I even gave them instructions for an activity using these code words! Thank you for such an amazing resource!Students used with:
