The Drinking Gourd: A Story of the Underground Railroad

Section 1; p. 6-31

(2^nd- 3^rd grade plan)

Role: Artful Artist

Response:

My picture is of Tommy Fuller in the barn. When the black man stood up with the axe in his hand, Tommy fell back into the hay because he was so frightened. I chose to draw this picture because I felt like this was the climax of this section. I became very interested at this point. I wondered what was going to happen to Tommy and who the people were in the barn and why they were there. I also thought that this would have been an interesting scene to watch unfold.

Plan for Sharing:

-Don’t tell the group what your drawing is.

-Let them guess how it goes with the story.

-Your group should discuss your picture before you talk about it.
