Bring Black History Month to Life!

Lesson Plan for Black History Project
Day 1:
First, the students select an African-American inventor or historical figure to research. The students will then use their research to create a Power Point of the inventors including details about the early life and what made them famous.
Day 2:
They then take the information and write a first-person account of using the main events of the historical figure’s life.
Day 3:
Students will then use the Morfo app and download a front-facing picture of the historical figure. In the app, the students will take the picture and make a 3-D video of the person. They will use the first-person narrative and record their voice which brings the picture to life. They will then use the picture and video and upload it in the Aurasma app and create a poster that when a device hovers over it their video will play.
Day 4:
I will place the classes’ posters around the school and give groups devises to “hunt” for the historical posters. They will use a chart and record the figures’ name, why they were famous, and one interesting fact.
