The 5th graders at Carver took on a great project. This combines language arts, social studies, and technology. The students did research using the web and wrote narrative essays as if they were slaves on the Underground Railroad. The students recorded their voices and selected their background music. The music is by the McIntosh County Shouters. The album is available in iTunes. I have included a sample below.
