Black History Month Collaboration Posters Bundle Set 1. This is the first volume of my Black History Month Collaboration Posters bundled together. There are five (5) people featured in this bundle: Rosa Parks, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Ruby Bridges, Booker T. Washington, and Barack Obama. These posters are great for ANY age or grade, as I have included several variations for each poster. My collaboration posters are easy for teachers and fun for kids and make a lasting impression—on students, parents, and your entire school community! Large and visually striking, these posters are the perfect accompaniment to your social studies lessons and/or Black History Month celebrations. They make a great display in the front office, the auditorium, a hallway, or in your classroom. No matter where they end up, they will engender unending compliments and conversations while proving a source of inspiration for your students and school community.

Your students will walk by and say, "I did that piece!" each time they see the poster. They take great pride in being part of this art project. Differentiation is built into the designs of these posters. Some pages have more to color than others, so some kids will easily be able to color two pages. Other pages have a lot of little details to color—creating more of a challenge. You can use this to differentiate and provide the appropriate experience for each child to achieve success and be part of the group. I have bundled these posters together to help you save money. However, if you do not want all of the people in the bundle, you can get any of them individually (listed below). Famous Persons Featured Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Ruby Bridges Barack Obama Booker T. Washington Rosa Parks I hope your students enjoy these Black History Month collaborative portrait posters and no doubt all the meaningful conversations that they will spark! I encourage you to keep these conversations going not only during Black History Month, but throughout the rest of the year as well.
