Product Description
Black History Month Biography Activities Using the Brad Meltzer I AM Biography Series:
Brad Meltzer has created an incredible series of “I am” biography books for young people. This bundled Black History Month biography activities product includes six individual literature companions for his series titled Ordinary People Change the World.
These literature companions are the perfect way to provide literature skills, research, and teach growth mindset all in one day. By using this black history month bundle your students can learn about influential figures and complete research activities in a fun and engaging way.
Due to the importance of the messages embedded in these stories, I’ve created these activities for 2nd-4th graders (as opposed to early primary grades). These “I am” biography books provide a fabulous segue for discussing how ordinary people can change the world.
With a growth mindset component in each product, your students can also discuss how these influential people exhibited a growth mindset. In addition, these books also provide a perfect platform for reviewing grade-level language arts skills.
Please click on the individual products below to see a detailed list of what is included in each Black History Month Activities unit.
Each product does contain a biographical sketch, comprehension questions, skills practice pages, writing prompts, and an additional (and unique) fun activity or craft that coincides with the book.
