The Underground Railroad was a vast network of people and places devoted to the cause of helping enslaved African Americans find their way to freedom.  In this week's Webwork you learn about the people who made this possible.  You'll also see how songs functioned in helping slaves make their way to the North.

It shouldn't be a mystery to you what type of score you'll earn on your Webwork.  Please keep in mind that full or high credit will be earned only by those who RESTATE THE QUESTION, use SUPPORTING DETAILS FROM THE TEXT to back up and clarify their answers, and provide an IN DEPTH RESPONSE (Webwork Rubric).  Your graded assignment will be printed off and filed in your folder in approximately one week's time. As always, you should talk to your teacher and/or other resources if you have questions about the assignment. If you haven't read the Webwork tips yet, it's a good idea to keep these in mind while working on this assignment. Take P.R.I.D.E. in all you do!
