We are doing an extension activity about slavery today. Students will play a game as Lucy King, a 14 year old slave girl in Kentucky. Students will have to make intelligent choices, that change based on the player, to help her escape to freedom. They will learn about the realities of slavery, and the difficulties in escaping. They will see who was fighting to help escaped slaves, and who was trying to catch them. They will see the Underground Railroad in action and, ultimately, choose where Lucy ends up. They will make mistakes and be captured, and possibly be killed, but they will learn about the struggle.
