Work in a group of four to create a daily journal (8 days) as a slave: Escape to Freedom. Each of you is responsible for two entries. Each entry has to have 80 words at least. However, there should be good coordination overall as a group. Be creative and imagine you are writing from the perspective of someone who lived in the 1850s. Entries contain well organized details; readers can "see" in their minds what occurred. You might find the following web resources useful to your understanding of slaves' escape: http://teacher.scholastic.com/activities/bhistory/underground_railroad/ http://www.history.com/topics/black-history/underground-railroad # Once again, before you submit your compistion, use the attached checklist (自查表) to make sure you do not have serious mistakes in your work.
