We love the Questioneers series and this new instalment was no exception! I created a deep dive mini unit to explore the themes and backstory of the book and it took us to so much unexpected learning.

Included:

• Link to watch a read aloud of the book

• Rhyme Scheme Page

• Rhyming Couplets Activity

• Illustration Viewing + Illustration Activity

• Repeating Patterns + Cultural Patterns + Create Your Own Pattern Activity

• Aaron Douglas Summary + Links

• View "Harriet Tubman" Painting

• Aaron Douglas Quote Copy Work

• "Aspiration" painting analysis video

• Silhouettes + Silhouette Art Activities

• Harlem Renaissance Summary + Video Links

• Music of the Harlem Renaissance + Video Links

• Music Listening Activity

• Langston Hughes Poetry + Copy Work

• Dyslexia & Neurodiversity Page + Video Link

• Floral Brain Colouring Page

• Diversity List Activity

This unit is multidisciplinary and so you can focus on ONLY this and still be working through so many “subjects” in a day. It should take you roughly 3-5 days to complete depending on your pace and is suitable for a broad age range. I did with my 12 and 14 year olds and we loved it. Younger children will be able to do all the activities (some with support) and should be able to understand much of the video content. Some of it geared more to older students.

The unit includes 20 pages and 19 activities. If you don’t have access to the book, a YouTube video link to a read aloud is provided.

Get it for the price of a fancy coffee ($5 CAD) and gift yourself up to a week of fully planned, creative and engaging learning for your kids!
