Black History is a story of courage and strength, pain and perseverance, inspiration and liberation. It is also a story for which new chapters are written every day by African Americans making news across the United States. This February, in classrooms across the country, newspaper e-Editions will provide students a new and effective resource for exploring Black History through the new chapters being written by African Americans making news. To help students and teachers make the most of this new resource, Hollister Kids is offering this dynamic new Teacher Guide. This turnkey package doesn't ask teachers who have too little time to sign up for workshops or Webinars to use your e-Edition. It's ready to go with how-to lessons on e-Edition technology and timely, themed e-Edition activities that explore Black History topics and issues. This 48-page guide for Grades 4-12 is packed with challenging, thought-provoking activities that connect the issues and achievements of African Americans today with the lessons of Black History from the past. All activities and activity sheets are designed to keep your e-Edition on screen at all times, and all are written to state and national education standards. This 8.5 by 11 guide can be e-mailed to teachers as a pdf, offered as a pulldown on your e-Edition site, made available as a download or delivered on CD. "Teaching Black History with Your e-Edition" is priced by circulation at $325, $475, $625.I
Sample Newspaper Activity
I HAVE A DREAM TODAY — The struggle against discrimination continues long after the death of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Women, immigrants, people of color and disabled people are just a few groups of people still seeking better opportunities. Ask students to read about one such struggle in the e-Edition this week or month. Then challenge them to pretend that they are Martin Luther King Jr. and write a short speech about the issue found in the e-Edition. To help them capture King’s speaking style, have them look up speeches of his that are posted on the Internet.
