Lesson aligned with ELA Common Core "Long Journey to Freedom"
In celebration of Black History Month and in alignment with ELA Common Core, second graders discussed the accomplishments of several influential black Americans. They listened to the story "Tar Beach" by Faith Ringgold, and shared family stories which made them special. Students brainstormed what they would fly over if they could and why. They then drew their pictures and then added the words, "I would fly over____because____." They outlined everything with black marker, then demonstrated their skills of color mixing and value using colored pencils. When students finished coloring, they added squares of printed paper for their "cloth" border.
