Thank you, Nancy, for the wonderful resources for Black History Month. There is a wealth of information and activies to use! I particularly liked sharing the photos and some of the video clips with the students that I found at http://search.eb.com/blackhistory . Every teacher should take advantage of these links !
Nancy, I really enjoyed your links to the Black history sites. You gave such a nice variety of information. I particularly enjoyed reading about Harriet Tubman. I also like the way you are writing in a clear an easy to understand manner. Some sites seem to be set up for a computer guru. Thanks for talking to us non-guru people too!!!
