This unit provides a wide-ranging overview of racial slavery in the Americas and the opportunity for students to consider how the past shapes the present.
Teaching with Memorials
Grab your colleagues and join us for Chatting with Choices! Celebrate Black History Month this February with a lesson about the abolitionist Harriet Tubman and three memorials dedicated to her legacy. We’ll walk through one lesson in the Racial Slavery in the Americas unit, “Public Monuments to Slavery,” and reflect on the challenges of memorializing the history of slavery.
Chatting with Choices is an informal time for you and other educators to ask questions, explore features in our Digital Editions platform, chat about best practices, learn about new developments, and more.
Chatting with Choices is not recorded.
This session will include a mini-lesson on teaching with memorials, including the “Public Monuments” lesson. All participants will receive a complimentary, one-year Digital Editions license to the Racial Slavery in the Americas: Resistance, Freedom, and Legacies curriculum unit. If requested, a short demonstration of our Digital Editions platform will also be provided.
Chatting with Choices is open to all.
