Hosting an event can be as simple as sharing a book or as elaborate as arranging public readings and media presentations that feature professional African American writers. How will your school library media center participate this year?

Many of our classroom teachers are also focusing on sharing books by African-American authors as well as our 4th/5th graders completing biographies about African-American authors. mcorbin https://padlet.com/djchambers_malewi/725cxulfiz5k/wish/230408499 2018-02-11 20:24:37 UTC https://padlet.com/djchambers_malewi/725cxulfiz5k/wish/230408499 Hawthorne Scholastic Academy lvgarner https://padlet.com/djchambers_malewi/725cxulfiz5k/wish/230425080 On "Free Read Friday" fourth graders will have access to a range of books by African American authors.

Students in grades 1-3 read Each Kindness and The Other Side and focused on identifying the message of these texts as well as ways we can be changemakers.

Fourth and fifth graders read This is the Rope. I used TeachingBooks.net for an introduction and excerpt read by Woodson. Then students used Britannica to research and learn more about the Great Migration.

Grades 6-8 read excerpts from Brown Girl Dreaming. Students used a poem group discussion guide from Read Write Think.

 My 4th graders chose partners and shared a wide assortment of African-American themed books, both fiction and nonfiction. At the end of the period, we quickly shared out our most amazing new learning.
My 7th graders researched and read about the Children's March in Birmingham in 1963 which was very empowering. We culminated our study by watching "Might Times The Children's March" documentary.

African-American Read In Digital Quilt
As part of our Black History Month celebration, Galileo students participated in the National African American Read-In in their classrooms during the month of February. The attached "quilt" is the result of their work.
The National African American Read-In was established in 1990 by the Black Caucus of the National Council of Teachers of English. At Galileo, each classroom chose a book, short story, poem, speech, letter, etc., by an African American author. After reading and discussing the text, classes created a poster about the text. The posters were photographed and a digital quilt was created by Henry Van Zytveld.
