Black History Month 2023

 

This year I made 2 poster boards to set out for the month of February. The individuals they focused on were Alice Ball and Charles Henry Turner.

 

I flipped through Vashti Harrison's Little Legends series for inspiration. 

Alice Ball is most known for creating a treatment for leprosy before antibiotics were invented. 

This treatment became known as the "Ball Method". It used oil extracted from a chaulmoogra tree seed and injected into a sick person.

The activity aspect of this poster board required kids to find a leaf from our outside garden to glue to the trees.

Charles Henry Turner is known for his study of insect behavior.

For his poster board, we tried our hand at drawing bumble bees.

Didn't manage to get any pictures of the my book displays or better snapshots of my tables.

These were both free-handed so no template to share but take the ideas!
