I’m a fan of celebrating and recognizing national Heritage Months. Highlighting heritage months broadens the scope of student knowledge, adds to the picture of our past and provides an understanding of the richness and historical influences of our diverse cultures.
As we “March on” to Women’s History Month, students can take what they learned during February’s Black History Month and can continue to share by creating and publishing epub digital books.
As a sampler of ways teachers can engage students in the creation books, I used some of the Library of Congress primary source information on W.E.B. Du Bois and the Paris Exhibition. You can access my sampler, The Resilient Faces of Black History in the Apple Book Store (free) or you can download the pdf copy here in Google Drive.
Impactful learning is creative. Hopefully my sampler models ways teachers can engage students in the creation of books with historic portraits or collages as we celebrate the resilience that is part of Black History.
Please share any examples of creative projects your learners have participated in.
