In the Classroom: Teaching Africa is My Home

Last month I wrote a post about the Blue School’s Keren Lilu’s fabulous unit on Africa is My Home. Inspired, a colleague and I usedKeren’s ideas with our own 4th grade studentsand it went wonderfully well. And so for others who might want to give it a try I’ve puttogether this page that detailsher methods so that others can follow them too.Keren also provided this video of the children’s wonderful paintings of Margru’s journey (inspired their study of Jacob Lawrence’s Migration series).
