Take a virtual field trip with this Reading Trek based on Ibi Zoboi's Pride, a contemporary retelling of Pride and Prejudice set in Bushwick, Brooklyn. 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.

In the Classroom
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.

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
