Freedom on the Move — Lesson Plans

A collection of ready-to-use lesson plans from Cornell University's Freedom on the Move project, built around runaway slave advertisements. Lessons cover analyzing primary sources, using runaway ads to write narratives, creating resistance newspapers, building timelines of pre-Civil War slavery, and examining Lord Dunmore's Proclamation. Each lesson includes instructional materials, student activities, and historical context for teaching about enslaved people's self-liberation.
