This Reading Trek includes a Teacher Guide that uses Google My Maps, reviewed here, to trace key settings from Zuri Benitez's neighborhood to the wealthy world of the Darcy family. Students can use digital tools to compare Bushwick and Manhattan, create "Then and Now" galleries, build playlists that capture mood and identity, and explore how place shapes character and theme. Extension activities include community pride projects, digital art galleries, podcasts about belonging, and poetry inspired by Zuri's voice. Teaching suggestions connect to Common Core English Language Arts Standards, National Curriculum Standards for Social Studies, National Core Arts Standards for Visual Arts, and Social Justice Standards focusing on identity and diversity.

Take advantage of the many lesson ideas in the Teachers' Guide to bring Pride to life and connect students to Zuri Benitez's world of culture, community, and change. Challenge students to compare Bushwick and Manhattan by creating a digital Venn diagram using Canva's Venn Diagram Maker, reviewed here, to explore how setting shapes identity and opportunity. Encourage creativity by having students design a "Then and Now" gallery with Photo Joiner, reviewed here, showcasing how Bushwick has evolved over time and how those changes mirror Zuri's experiences in the novel. Finally, have students create a Pandora playlist, reviewed here, inspired by the book's locations and moods, with each song reflecting a character's emotions or a moment of transformation.

Introduce your students to the inspiring life and work of Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller, a pioneering African American sculptor, poet, and theater artist whose work boldly addressed themes of racial injustice, identity, and resilience. She was the first African American woman to receive a federal art commission, creating powerful pieces such as "Ethiopia Awakening" and "Mary Turner: A Silent Protest Against Mob Violence," which highlighted the African American experience and challenged societal norms. View the short animated documentary detailing Fuller's journey, along with free, standards-aligned lesson plans and a Do-It-Yourself Screening Kit to facilitate classroom discussions and activities.
tag(s): artists (93), women (177), womenchangemaker (67)
In the Classroom
After watching the animated documentary, have students reflect on how Fuller used sculpture to express identity and social issues. Then, students can draw or describe a symbolic sculpture they would create to represent a cause or part of their identity. Students can use Google Drawings reviewed here to compare her artwork to another person from the same period. Create a mini "gallery" in the classroom featuring images of Fuller's major works along with other historical art. Assign students to rotate through stations, completing response sheets with prompts like "What message does this sculpture convey?" or "How does art act as protest or empowerment?"Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

View this resource from the Thinking Museum, which presents six inquiry-based routines that educators can use to deepen students' thinking and engagement, particularly around art, objects, or complex ideas. The routines, such as See, Think, Wonder, Looking Ten Times Two, Step Inside, Headlines, Creative Questions, and ESP+I (Experience / Struggles / Puzzles / Insights), offer structured ways to move learners from observation to interpretation, perspective taking, summarizing, curiosity, and reflection. Each routine is explained with its purpose, suggested questions, and tips for adaptation. The activities emphasize flexibility and encourage teachers to build these routines into their "thinking toolkit" for richer classroom discussions.
tag(s): brain (59), inquiry (28), perspective (25), podcasts (137), puzzles (148), summarizing (23), teaching strategies (52), thinking skills (33)
In the Classroom
Display several images, artifacts, or short text excerpts around the room. Students can rotate in groups, using the See, Think, Wonder routine at each station to record their observations, interpretations, and questions on sticky notes or a shared Padlet, reviewed here. After reading a story or historical event, have students "step inside" the mind of a character or figure. Next, they can write or record brief reflections from that person's perspective, describing their thoughts, feelings, and motivations. Using Creative Questions, students can brainstorm inquiry-based questions related to a class topic (e.g., "What would happen if...?" or "Why does this matter today?"). Post them on a question wall to inspire deeper research or writing projects.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

The PBS LearningMedia resource "Washington Crossing the Delaware" offers a short, accessible video that introduces students to Emanuel Leutze's famous 1851 painting and explores its historical and symbolic significance. The video highlights how the artwork was intended to inspire unity and patriotism, especially during times of national division. The resource is designed for classroom use and includes discussion questions and background information to support historical thinking and visual analysis skills. It's an excellent tool for helping students understand how art can reflect and influence public perceptions of historical events.

While watching the video, students can take notes on symbols in the painting (ex., the flag, Washington's posture, ice chunks) and then research what each might represent. Students find or create a modern artwork that conveys a message about unity, leadership, or patriotism, then compare it to Leutze's painting.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

This lesson plan explores the connection between abstract art and jazz through the works of Filipino American artist Leo Valledor. Students learn about Valledor's use of color, shape, and movement to create rhythm in his paintings, much like jazz musicians create rhythm in music. Teachers can use this resource to engage students in discussions about cross-cultural influences, abstract expressionism, and the role of music in visual art. Download the Teacher Packet to access five lessons correlated to Common Core Standards, each lesson is designed to take place over two fifty-minute class periods. Activities encourage creativity, critical thinking, and artistic expression, making it a valuable addition to art and humanities lessons for upper elementary and secondary students. The videos are hosted on YouTube. If your district blocks YouTube, then they may not be viewable.
tag(s): artists (93), asia (140), colors (64), critical thinking (141), cross cultural understanding (176), jazz (17), painting (55), rhythm (22)
In the Classroom
Play different jazz songs while students create abstract artwork inspired by the music's rhythm, tempo, and mood. Discuss how different sounds influence their color choices, brushstrokes, and shapes. In small groups, students can take turns adding to a large abstract painting while listening to jazz, responding visually to one another's work in a musical jam session-like setting. Afterward, they reflect on how the collaborative process mirrored jazz improvisation. Students write a short poem or narrative inspired by one of Valledor's paintings, describing how the shapes and colors "sound" to them. They can personify the artwork as a piece of jazz music, imagining how it would move or feel if it were to come to life.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

The Snowflake Drawing Tool from the Canadian Museum of Nature is an interactive online activity that allows students to design and explore snowflake patterns while learning about symmetry and crystal formation. Click on the image and drag your mouse to create a snowflake, then choose "finish" to view your snowflake falling from the sky! Continue to the next page to find sharing and download options. This tool helps students understand how real snowflakes develop their six-sided structures based on molecular patterns in nature. It's an excellent resource for integrating art, math, and science, as students can create unique digital snowflakes while exploring concepts like geometry, fractals, and crystallization. Perfect for STEM and winter-themed lessons, this tool engages students in both creative design and scientific exploration.
tag(s): design (78), geometric shapes (138), patterns (65), snow (22), STEM (331), symmetry (29)
In the Classroom
Have students design snowflakes and identify their lines of symmetry and then compare different snowflake designs and discuss what makes them symmetrical. Have students design a unique snowflake and write a poem or short story about it using personification, similes, and metaphors to describe their snowflake's journey from the sky to the ground. Compile a class snowflake book using ePubEditor reviewed here with their designs and writing. Measure the angles in their snowflake designs and discuss how geometry plays a role in nature and/or explore fractions by estimating how much of the original shape is cut away.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

tag(s): geometric shapes (138), patterns (65), problem solving (246), snow (22), symmetry (29)
In the Classroom
Have students design a snowflake and identify its lines of symmetry (folding lines where the design matches). Then, challenge them to create snowflakes with specific numbers of symmetrical sections (e.g., 4, 6, or 8). Introduce fractals by showing natural examples (such as snowflakes, trees, and ferns) and have students generate snowflakes at various stages of the design process. Compare their snowflakes and discuss how repeating patterns create complex designs. Have students design digital snowflakes and print them for a classroom display. Compare snowflake designs to traditional paper-cut snowflakes and discuss the difference between digital and handmade art.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
