UGRR Success!

Dear Netters,

You people are great and thanks to all your good ideas, the 5th grade and I
pulled off a very good experience.

I used the National Georpgrahic's web site "Journey" to re-enact it in the
library.  No lights on and only a flashlight...I wrote a script and added
characters (Harriet Tubman, William Still etc) with lines to say.  I made
Narrator cards for each of the 10 "web pages" and stationed them at
critical points on the railroad to help the slaves escape; Peg Leg Joe
started them on their way by leading us in singing the Drinking Gourd
Song..I too acted as narrator by adding in information about the Fugitive
Slave Act when they made it to the North.  Using cut paper as a river,
lining up small tables to crawl under, throwing quilts over "houses" and
setting up lanterns...they went through the Choptank River, to safe houses,
across Lake Erie to Canada...

It lasted about 30 minutes and we filmed it with our digital camera, so
hopefull you can see some pictures on our web site at some point.

Again, Thank you so much
