The aim of this lesson is to analyse why slaves escaped from their masters and evaluate the significance of Harriet Tubman.

The lesson begins by asking why slaves ran away and how would they prepare for it.

Some source scholarship focuses on an advert placed in 1838 to retrieve a runaway slave. Key questions on inference require students to analyse and read between the lines on why the owner was desperate to recapture the slave.

The second part of the lesson examines the underground railroad and the roles of those who helped the escapees and relocate to the northern states. Harriet Tubman was instrumental in this and students undertake an extended written piece on her significance.

Finally some famous escapes are highlighted and debated by the students as to which were the most daring, interesting, lucky and famous.

The lesson is enquiry based with a key question using a lightbulb posed at the start of the lesson and revisited to show the progress of learning.

The resource includes suggested teaching strategies, retrieval practice, differentiated materials and comes in Powerpoint format if there is a wish to adapt and change.
