Description
Whether you're celebrating Black History Month in February or incorporating more Black voices to diversify your curriculum, this digital choice board activity will help students gain exposure to 25 different articles, videos, poems, and stories.
The goal of a choice board is to primarily provide choice to students - an opportunity to self-navigate their interests and explore new ideas. This activity can be used as a bell ringer, a weekly activity, or a 1-2 day lesson plan with reading and discussion. The choice board is highly versatile and can be customized to fit your exact classroom needs.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
The choice board is constructed in Google Slides. Once you select the pre-made board or make your own edits, teachers will present the board to students as a view-only Google Slide. From there, students can click each of the buttons to gain access to the live links for each.
Teachers may:
- Assign this as a daily activity
- Assign this as a "tic-tac-toe" activity asking students to read everything in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line
- Assign this weekly asking students to pick form a different color/category each time
Then, students will use the Google Form template to respond and reflect on what they read or watched that day. Google Forms automatically collects all respondent's information in to a spreadsheet making it easy for teachers to read reflections quickly and all in one place.
WHAT DOES THIS PRODUCT INCLUDE?
- Teacher directions
- ONE ready-to-assign choice board that reads "BLACK HISTORY MONTH CHOICE BOARD" (to be used during February)
- ONE ready-to-assign choice board that reads "CELEBRATING BLACK HISTORY & CULTURE" (to be used any time of year)

- Google Form for student responses
WHAT ARE THE CATEGORIES?
Each button is linked to a YouTube video, article, poem, or some other web experience. Each category contains FIVE buttons, giving the choice board a total of 25 live links for students to follow. The categories include:
- POETRY
- STORIES
