There are TWO options for page 2 depending on the age of your students and time allotted for this unit:
Use Page 2-Male and Page 2-Female organizers with connection questions and a dedicated place for students to cite their sources or record where they found their information. *Make sure you have the correct gender page for this option.
Another option is to use the organizers to write three facts about that famous person and color to help younger students connect to the information.
There is a good mix of female and men influential people for Black History Month. I usually partner up the students and have them do the research as a team using books from the library or online encyclopedias.
For the final project, I have students create a poster with all the facts to present to the class about their famous people.
I've included two blank organizers (one for females and one for males) in case you have other influential people that you'd like to use for this project also.
