Lesson Plan
Note: The resource used in this lesson is no longer live on the Web. The link below will take you to an archived/cached copy of the page as it appeared when it was live. This page, while it might load a bit more slowly than a normal Web page, is good to print out for student use. Or you might instruct students to use library resources instead of the African-American Firsts Web page.
Provide each student with a copy of the Education World work sheet Fabulous Firsts in African American History and copies of printouts from African-American Firsts (alternate source).
Variation for younger students: Work together as a class to complete the work sheet.
Variation for older students: Organize students into small groups. Tell students they must use print sources only -- for example, library books, magazines, or textbooks -- to find the answers to the questions on the work sheet.
Assessment
Evaluate students' work sheet answers.
