In second grade we discuss slavery, Harriet Tubman, and the underground railroad. This map will allow them to travel one of the paths that Harriet Tubman used to ensure safe passage to freedom for so many people. I would first display the map as a whole group project. This way I could show them how to navigate the map. I would then let them travel the map with a partner. I would also have questions for them to answer for each marker on the map. When they reached the end they would click the link to The Journey, this will give them more information about the trip they just took.
