Black History Research Projects | Black History Month Activities

Your students will enjoy learning about important figures in black history as they complete these engaging black history research projects! This set includes 20 different no prep research posters, plus an editable page to add the name of a figure of your choice. There are 4 different styles and formats! After students complete research, colorful details are added to the poster, creating a visually appealing research project!

Students may use books, encyclopedias, and child-friendly internet sites to do their research. Since each research poster is a single page, students will have time to research several historical figures during the month of February!

Each research poster includes the name and picture of the historical figure, clip art of American symbols, a space to include the dates of the person’s life, and 4 research and reflection assignments. These research reports are great for reading and research stations and as assignments for the whole class! A student and teacher rubric are included with this set of posters. They may be used to assess accuracy of responses, expression of ideas, and visual creativity.

Just Print and Go! Your students are just a page away from creating an informative, creative research poster report!
