The lesson includes keywords & definitions, a brief overview of what Black History Month is and why we celebrate it, scaffolded teaching, information sheets to search and categorize key information. Students are then to use the information they have extracted to complete profile pages on significant figures in black history. I have provided single A4 information sheets on 4 key figures from varying periods of history in addition to blank profile pages (black and white to save on colour printing and provide students with more opportunities to get creative!) There is an AFL check point built into the lesson and to consolidate the learning students can attempt an exam style question which is great for practicing and developing point & evidence writing. The accompanying mark scheme to self-assess has also been included (this is currently styled as a 4 mark AQA history ‘describe’ question). Alternatively, this can easily be tweaked to meet the language and style of your own subject/exam board questions. I really hope your students enjoy this lesson for Black History Month.
