Black History Biography Research Project

Students choose a person from Black history, write down their sources and work through the pages in order. They write the final copy on the lined pages, then fill in the labels, cut them out and glue them on a trifold display.

Twelve pages after the cover: an overview with five steps and a 15-point rubric, a bubble map, a cause and effect page and 3 paragraph planners for early life, grown-up life and achievements. Then come 4 lined final copy pages, one with a Picture box, and 2 pages of trifold labels for the title, interview questions, about the author and sources.

Yes. We made it for 3rd Grade to 5th Grade holiday activities, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.

14 printable resources, all free to preview. There are 31 Black History Month resources in all, from Preschool to 5th Grade, gathered on our Black History Month activities page. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.

These are written for 3rd Grade to 5th Grade students, roughly ages 8-11. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.

Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a 3rd Grade to 5th Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
