Harriet Tubman: 3rd Grade Lesson Introduction

Think About It

What is a cause that is important to you? Maybe it’s helping the hungry by donating canned goods during a food drive at school. Maybe it’s caring for God’s creation by throwing your trash away after eating lunch on the soccer field. Or maybe it’s supporting our American heroes by saying “Thank you!” to a police officer or member of the military when you see them in a store.

Activism

In these examples, you are doing something for someone else. You are serving others and, in the process, making your community a healthier, cleaner, and happier place to live in. You are advancing a cause that you care about – which is what activists do. An activist is someone who tirelessly works for a particular cause. Harriet Tubman was an activist who worked to help slaves escape to freedom.
