You may choose from two follow-up activities...
1. Conduct Primary Research: Each group uses
cooperative learning techniques to undertake primary
research using topics and Carroll family letters and
documents provided by Homewood staff. Topics from which
students may choose to explore slavery, medical
treatments, travel, and family relationships.
At the end of the research segment, students compile their
findings and present a report to the entire group. The
primary research booklets offer points of comparison to
life today.
2. Play Early American Games: Lawn bowling, marbles, and
hoops — weather permitting. Checkers, whist, and dominoes
can be substituted for the primary research component for
camp groups, younger students, or for a less rigorous
academic experience.
