Instructional Ideas

• Investigate the website during Black History Month
• Direct pupils to examine one or more locations and share their findings with the rest of the class in an informal presentation atmosphere 
• If time permits, allow learners to browse the rest of the website for further information; perform a quick preview to confirm that the resource is appropriate for your class 

Classroom Considerations

• Coordinate a time to visit the school's computer lab or check out devices so each class member has access to a device
• Encourage the use of headphones when locations include a video

Pros

• Each location includes a description, high-quality picture, map, and links to discover related experiences, places to visit, and neighborhood cities of interest 

Cons

• Does not include a map legend
