[kids-lib] Gov Docs about Emancipation Proclamation & Underground Railroad

[Jennifer Maurer]

Arlene Weible is my colleague in Library Development and is our expert on government documents. She passed along these resources about the Emancipation Proclamation and the Underground Railroad. The first is probably most appropriate for elementary, and the second for elementary and perhaps some middle schoolers.

(Has good biographical and timeline information plus a fun way to create a glossary)

For more ideas about using government documents as sources of informational text, including an ebook about the Emancipation Proclamation that is appropriate for middle schoolers and up, see the Resource Roundup column in the spring 2013 Interchange<https://ola.memberclicks.net/assets/OASL/documents/Interchange/draft%20final%20interchange%20spring%202013.pdf>.
