Abstract
Providing elementary school teachers with materials to enhance student awareness of black heritage is the goal of this unit. Each of the 10 lessons includes objectives; materials; and procedures as well as supplementary materials that may be duplicated for student use. The land and people of Africa are studied in lessons one through three. Games; folktales; and songs are used in lesson four to study African culture. Children simulate a safari to learn the different countries of Africa. Lesson five explores the journey of blacks from slavery to freedom. Black contributions to U.S. society in politics; science and industry; art; athletics; scholarship; and political activism are emphasized in lesson six. Soul food; folk heroes; games; and songs are provided in lessons 8 through 10 to further understanding of black American culture. (SM)
