Postcard Project for Black History Month
To teach we often give students some materials, tools, a few ideas and then let them get to work. One project I developed started with Quotations and ended with postcards about notable Black Americans. I don't know who first put this list of quotes together, but is was a great springboard for student reflection, research and a digital project. In this case, postcards created using MS Word.
You can read, and hear, the quotes here. http://lynnemb.mypodcast.com/2007/09/Black_History_Project_Quotes_110-44368.html
