In honor of Black History Month, the National Education Association (NEA) has assembled a multitude of lessons and resources on the topic of African Americans in the United States. Here educators and other interested parties will find lesson plans, activities, printables, and more - all sorted and organized by grade level: Grades K-5, Grades 6-8, and Grades 9-12. For example, in Musical Harlem, a lesson plan designed for grades K-4, students listen to clips of jazz to identify the styles and musicians associated with the Harlem Renaissance, while in another activity, Notable African Americans from the 18th century to the present, students between fifth and 12th grade play a Jeopardy-style game to test their knowledge of famous African Americans. Readers will also find Background Resources that cover a broad spectrum of subjects, from social studies to sports, excellent Quizzes to help educators assess what their students are learning, and numerous Audio & Video aids to help bring the lessons to life.
