Despite their countless contributions to global society, the achievements of black women, in particular, have too often been overlooked or forgotten.
That is why, this year, Black History Month will focus on celebrating the exceptional achievements of black women and the #WEMATTER movement.
The theme of Saluting our Sisters highlights the crucial role that black women have played in shaping history, inspiring change, and building communities.
This year’s celebration will showcase pioneering black women who have made remarkable contributions to literature, music, fashion, sport, business, politics, academia, social and health care, and more.
The activities in Dominoes keep students engaged in the stories and help to reinforce their understanding of the key language. They can be completed at home or in class. The project activities in Dominoes build on the themes from the story and encourage students to draw on their ownexperiences. Activities include note-taking and language tasks, leading to extended writing, poster-making, and class presentations. They are ideal for group work in class or individual assignments.
