Today, you will NOT GO right into your Literature Circle Groups. First, you will explore Carter G. Woodson he creator of Black History Month. Then, each student will explore three biographical resources about the author of their literature circle text, before writing a full page summary/biography of their author. In addition to summarizing biographical information, your response should answer the following: How have the experiences of my author been reflected in their work? In which ways is my author connected to the South or The Great Migration? Your biography should be a page and a half. It may be typed.
All Students: Google pays homage to Carter G. Woodson the Father of Black History Month
