Used Harriet Tubman : Curriculum Guide : Listen for the Whippoorwill

Description

Introduce Young Readers to Christian Heroes of the Past Dear parents, teachers, and TRAILBLAZER readers, You are about to take an exciting adventure and meet a great Christian hero--Harriet Tubman, conductor on the Underground Railroad. For us, one of the most fun parts of writing the TRAILBLAZER BOOKS is doing the research. Listen for the Whippoorwill was no exception--digging up facts about the Underground Railroad, learning about safe houses and code words, exploring the lives and customs of slaves, discovering the complicated history of slavery laws and how they affected people like Harriet Tubman. We hardly knew where to stop! We hope reading Listen for the Whippoorwill will whet your appetite to find out more about the Underground Railroad and Harriet Tubman. Use this Curriculum Guide by our good friend and fellow writer Julia Pferdehirt to launch you on a journey of discovery. Let us know what you find out!--you can contact us by email at DaveNeta@trailblazerbooks.com. You can also learn a little more about us and some of the other TRAILBLAZER adventures waiting for you on our Web site: www.trailblazerbooks.com. Happy exploring! Dave and Neta Jackson
