Our Animated Fourth Graders: Harriet Tubman and The Underground Railroad
This original animation about Harriet Tubman was created by Amber and Halina. Here’s what they had to say about working on their project:
Amber: “I really enjoyed working on this animation project.One reason was because me and my partner both communicated with each other pretty well so we were able to finish the work that we did.Me and Halina both did a equal amount of work so it was fair.While we worked on our animation it was fun because we actually got to learn some things about the history of Harriet Tubman.I thought we did a very good job.”
Halina: “I liked the animation a lot. In the beginning we had trouble, as we moved on we got better at it.I enjoyed working with Amber. I like to do animations now.I wish to do another animation with Amber because it was easy for us because we agreed with each other. If I could do another animation it would be about my experience doing my first animation.I had a lot of fun.”

Hello my name is Talia. I enjoyed the video about Harrit Tubman. My favorire part about the movie was when Harrit set all the slaves free because if it wasn’t for her all the slaves that were there would of died. I have a quishton to ask you guys. Did all the kids have one part because as i was watcing the show i noticed that each show had two kids per show. I hope u have a good time doing more video.

Thank you.

Hi there, I am a teacher in New Zealand. I really enjoyed your video and I learned heaps because I have heard of Harriett Tubman before. Thank you

Your animation had great facts about Harriet Tubman. And you did a great job making the pictures go along with the story. I work with K-5 graders and can’t wait to show them your work to inspire them!

Your teamwork is awesome! Thank you for sharing the facts about Harriet Tubman in this format. I look forward to sharing this with my second grade students next year. I am also excited about reading your next animation about your experience in creating the video. This will help give me pointers on how to motivate my students who may be interested in creating their own video about their educational explorations. (Second Grade Teacher in Norcross, GA)
