Black History Month Virtual Field Trip Digital Resource Activity Google & Seesaw

⭐️ Celebrate Black History Month with a Virtual Field Trip. Students learn about four inspiring Black figures and the monuments that are dedicated to their legacies as they read prompts, watch videos, and complete various activities. This resource focuses on the legacy of four influential Black figures (James Baldwin, Alvin Ailey, Nina Simone, and Wilma Rudolph) but also integrates many other important figures in Black History (Frederick Douglas, Rosa Parks, Malcolm X, MLK, Bessie Coleman, Mae Jemison, Ruby Bridges). This is a fun and interactive way for students to learn about influential figures in Black History. It contains video links, images, reading passages, exercises, writing activities, and more.

*Please note: The Google Slides and Seesaw formats include links to YouTube videos, so ensure you and your students have access to YouTube if you plan to use these formats. Although great care has been taken to ensure all content is appropriate for the stated grade levels, each classroom is unique and it is recommended that teachers review all content before use. If you are using Google Slides, I recommend embedding the videos to avoid ads and other YouTube page content that some users may find inappropriate. Instructions for embedding the videos are included and it should only take a few minutes. Also, keep in mind that any links to third-party content may be changed or removed by the content owner. All links are reviewed & updated regularly; however, if you find a broken link, please let me know so I can update the resource accordingly.
