Advice for Teachers
This assignment has two important features:
  1. Students will become interested in studying an African American aviator’s life and accomplishments.
  2. Students will learn how to integrate images from an online collection into a biography presentation.
You may want to tailor this activity to your students’ abilities and interests. If so, here are some easy ways to adjust the complexity of this assignment:
  • Provide students with the biographical summaries about each aviator.
  • Ask students to do additional independent research on the aviator they study.
  • Tell students in advance which images from the Black Wings collection "go" with each aviator.
  • Require students to use more than three images from the Black Wings collection.
