Instructional Ideas
- Tie in Black History Month during your discussion about the African diaspora and culture
- When complete, put the mural up on the wall of your classroom to represent the cultural diversity of your class—great as a back-to-school activity
Classroom Considerations

Pros
- Comes with materials, from step-by-step instructions to a glossary, to help you complete the plan
Cons
- None
