During this two week unit, one objective is for students to compare and contrast their lives to that of Booker T. Washington. Students may choose to use a Venn Diagram in order to display their thinking. They will also use this graphic organizer to write a few paragraphs regarding the similarities and differences between their lives and that of Booker T. Washington. Students will also be able to explain the significance of Booker T. Washington in today’s society. Students will note that Washington implemented many programs that helped African Americans become educated.
Another objective is for students to write and publish a family story of perseverance. Parents and students will work together to determine the story they wish to tell about their family. Students will begin to unlock their family history and genealogy. Not only will students create a written report of their family story, but parents and students will also be invited to present their story during the day in the classroom.
The last objective for this unit is for students to engage in the goal-setting process in order to set instructional goals. Students will think about their own learning and what they hope to accomplish. Students will determine actionable steps for accomplishing their goal.
