Try her: Underground Railroad Dice Simulation with Narrative Writing Connection

You can use my Interactive Notebooks during your reading block, science/social studies block, or — what I love to do — during both blocks! These Interactive Notebooks are also an easy way to implement Close Reads in your classroom, and they’re available for grades 1-5.”
