Sanfordian+Searchers+Geocaching+Lesson+Plan

__**Standards**__


 * 3.H.2.1** Explain change over time through historical narratives. (e.g. events, people, places)
 * 3.H.2.2** Explain how multiple perspectives are portrayed through historical narratives.


 * CCSS.ELA.LITERACY.W.3.7** Conduct short research projects that build knowledge about a topic.

Lesson Plan Students will begin the lesson by reading the information provided on the following webpage: Black History Month

Students will then be divided into groups of four. Each group will answer questions about the reading that will lead them to their first cache. Possible questions could be: 1. "What month is Black History Month?" 2. "What year was the NCAAP founded?"

If the students answer correctly, the teacher will give them a slip of paper with the coordinates for the first cache. At the first cache students will find a picture of a significant person and the coordinates for the second cache. The second cache will contain a quote from the significant person, and the coordinates for the third and final cache. The final cache will contain a short informational piece about the significant person, if the students have not already figured out who their person is. The four groups will find information pertaining to Phillis Wheatley, George Washington Carver, Althea Gibson, and James VanDerZee.
