Black History Month Biographies: Set 1

This resource is a hands-on way to learn about some of the most important individuals in our history! All included resources are provided in printable and digital versions.

This set includes the following individuals:

1.) Langston Hughes

2.) Jesse Owens

3.) Sojourner Truth
4.) Billie Holiday
5.) Ruby Bridges

6.) Martin Luther King, Jr.

7.) Thurgood Marshall

There are 8 printable pages and 3 digital pages provided for each person being taught/learned about.

*The first page for each famous individual allows the students to draw a picture of the person they have chosen/been assigned.

The other details will be filled out after the quick lesson by the teacher, students being given the fact sheet, or students researching the information.

Quote Page:

*For the quote page, I have provided a famous quote by that person on one of the pages, and if you choose the OPTIONAL second page, the student will research a quote from that person by him/herself.

*Lined, blank, and digital copies for each famous person.

*The quote page has a picture for the student to color the individual.

*Coloring page with quote from each person included in this bundle.

How you can incorporate it into your classroom:

*You can assign or have your students choose ONE person, and then share what they learned with their group/class. OR… you can assign the whole resource at once. This way students can have the whole month of February (Black History Month) to complete it.

*If your students will be completing it as a book, there is a project cover page provided as well.

This resource is also part of a Black History Month BUNDLE!
