Lesson Plans - 8th Grade

Why Celebrate Black History Month

To utilize Internet resources for the immersion of students into Black History, they learn about the culture, heritage, family, church, and politics of the African-American and why we honor their accomplishments. Then they make class presentations.

Black History Month Announcements

Students will use research to create announcements to share with the school throughout Black History Month.

Free to Dream Poetry

Students read and respond to poems by Langston Hughes, identifying structures and sound techniques (e.g., rhyme, rhythm, meter, alliteration).

Honor African American Leaders

“Students research information about important leaders of African descent such as Daurene Lewis, the first female African Canadian to be elected mayor in North America.
Students recognize the many contributions of international Black leaders.
Students design a poster depicting highlights of the honored person’s achievements.”

Our Town’s Black Heritage

Students tour Boston’s Black Heritage Trail and create a black heritage tour of their own town.
