Summary:The following lesson integrates social studies and literacy curriculum with an engineering focus, which helps teachers engage students through the use of interactive strategies that develop the 21st Century Skills of social and cultural abilities in the elementary classroom. text The biography Bad News for Outlaws by Vaunda Micheaux Nelson tells the story of a former slave, Bass Reeves, who escaped to freedom in the Oklahoma Territories.
