Back-to-School 2020-21
Students in Beth Tyrrell’s third grade class at Goshen Intermediate School recently presented their individual research projects about the Underground Railroad.
The Underground Railroad was a network of secret routes and safe houses established in the United States during the early to mid-19th century to help African-American slaves escape to freedom. After reading the book “Who Conducted the Underground Railroad” by Peter Roop and Connie Roop, the students researched and presented their projects, which included diary entries from escaped slaves, creating quilts that were used as maps to help slaves escape, and biographies of slaves as well as underground railroad conductors who helped slaves escape.
