Preparing for Black History Month?

The Teacher's Discovery English and Social Studies divisions are interested in making your planning for Black History Month a little easier.



This DVD, "Martin Luther King: I Have a Dream," is a great piece for reviewing one of the most important speeches in American History. King's speech is also a great example of a truly remarkable rhetorician at work.

You'll find a sample of the video, and a free quiz to accompany it, at the link above.




Speaking of Martin Luther King, Jr., this great Talking Poster would be a fine addition to your classroom decor. Press the button on the poster for an audio clip of his famous speech.



And speaking of classroom decor (we are apparently all about the segues today), this poster set will let the words of African American poets resonate with your students every time the pass by. Langston Hughes, Claude McKay, and others speak across generations, right into your students' hearts.



If you're interested in covering the Harlem Renaissance from all the angles, our set of three Harlem Renaissance PowerPoint presentations lead your students through the literary, musical, and artistic movements withing the Harlem Renaissance. The images and sounds in these presentations make them something really special.

If these pieces aren't quite what you're looking for, head over to the Teacher's Discovery website and give it a search.

As always, feel free to give us a call or drop us an email at teachersbrunch @ teachersdiscovery. com.

Are You Teaching Something Special for Black History Month?

February is just around the corner.

If you're an English or Social Studies teacher looking to supplement your materials for Black History Month, Teacher's Brunch has some things that you might like.

Our African American Authors PowerPoint presentation is a great way to explore the depth and breadth of African American writers' contributions to American literature.





The CD includes a teacher script, two classroom activities, and loads of great extra images.

Everyone you think should be included, IS included, along with lesser-known writers.




We also have a three-presentation set about the Harlem Renaissance.




The first presentation covers the authors of the Harlem Renaissance.









Our second piece covers the musicians of the Harlem Renaissance. It's a great chance to reach across content areas.









Our last piece covers the Harlem Renaissance's artists.









As with the African American Authors PowerPoint, each of our Harlem Renaissance pieces comes with activities, a script, and extras right on the disk.

Each one is ready to go, right out of the case, or you can customize it using PowerPoint.

Give us a call if you have any questions!
