Eighth-Grade Slavery Projects
Students in Mr. Kruse’s eighth-grade U.S. history course have been studying slavery in the United States prior to the Civil War. Students were given a menu of choices for creating a project demonstrating their knowledge of a specific issue related to American slavery and then presented these to the class. Presentations included dioramas of safe houses on the Underground Railroad, the Abolitionist movement to end slavery and a cotton plantation typical of the mid-1800s. One group also wrote and performed a skit detailing Henry “Box” Brown’s famous slave escape.
