Medaase!
This web quest was originally designed for the 4th and 5th grade children attending the Comer Kids Academy at Eastern Michigan University. The children were students at schools that implemented the Comer School Development Model which is part of the Comer School Development Program at Yale University that encourages collaboration, consensus and no fault decision making.We want to give thanks to all of the creators of the websites that we have used in our Flight to Freedom webquest. (As you know websites come and go; we are thankful that the ones we have selected still exist today.)
Amidst the controversy regarding quilting and African American slavery, we are thankful to have had the following book as a resource: Hidden in Plain View by Jacquline L. Tobin & Raymond G. Dobard, 1999, Anchor Books. Likewise we are thankful to Dr. Cathy Royal for her advise to us regarding the webquest.
FYI: You should know that medaase means thank you in Fante, a native language spoken by some of the enslaved Africans (Fante Handbook for Beginners & African Diaspora).
