    Would love to hear your black history living book suggestions.

    We’re studying the 1800s this year, but I’m not feeling especially limited to this time period. I have children at the following reading levels for which I’d love recommendations: 2nd grade, 7th grade, 9th/10th grade.

    Thank you!

    I have some ideas, but don’t have time to post them today, but will be back over the weekend.

    Do you include first-jand accounts and bios as part of your criteria?

    I would include a biography of Phyllis Wheatley, a Revolutionary War-period poet who was a slave, and a biography of George Washington Carver, a botanist.

    For your older students, the autobiography of Frederick Douglass, though brutal in places, is excellent.

    I’m sure I’ll think of more, but these came to the top of my mind.
