The Underground Railroad for Children

This post is especially for all of you teacher education students out there. Did you know that there are some great government publications out there that can provide activities for your students? One such item is Discovering the Underground Railroad: Junior Ranger Activity Book. This item was designed for the National Park Service's Junior Ranger program. (You can find more information on this program under the "For Kids" link on any National Park Service site's web page. This publication is online, but we also have a print copy at I 29.2:R 13/2 in government documents. There's an interesting blog post about this item and a couple of others published for Black History month at http://govbooktalk.gpo.gov/2012/02/27/underground-railroad/.
