Help young historians personally engage in the stories of African Americans during the Great Migration! Assessing a migration route map, learners create a migrant character's experience, adding details while studying primary sources. A worksheet is included to organize findings, and can easily be used for whole-class instruction, small groups, or individual work. Learning is synthesized through a scrapbook project. Extensions are included and most links to sources work.
