African American History Unit - Following The North Star

Study African American history through a series of read-a-louds, and writing assignments. This unit is positive, as it focuses on the perseverance and dedication of both the abolitionist, and civil rights movements. The read-a-louds include historical fiction, non-fiction, and biographies.

At the end of this African American history unit students will have studied the slavery period, the abolitionist movement, the civil war, segregation, and the civil rights movement. The unit includes discussions to clear up students' common misconceptions around black history. This unit is a great way to celebrate African American history month.
