The Tuskegee Airmen - Mini Unit

This mini unit is designed to teach students about the contributions of the famous Tuskegee Airmen during and after World War Two. Reading pages cover the following topics:

• Early black aviation pioneers

• Formation & training.

• Fighting overseas.

• Myths of the 332nd.

• Postwar legacy.

I've also included biographies of early African-American aviation pioneers from prior to World War Two including:

• Eugene Bullard

  Bessie Coleman

  William Powell

  John Robinson

A PowerPoint presentation is included to help guide teachers and students through the lessons. I've also created a folder with materials which can be uploaded to your personal Google Classroom site if you have one. Additionally, a collection of pictures are included which represent the pioneers and their lives.

Total resources included are:

Reading and Worksheets: For students to inform themselves on the topics provided and also demonstrate learning of the information.

PowerPoint Presentation: To inform students of the contributions of Tuskegee Airmen within the topics provided.

Google Classroom Versions: All information need to hold this unit virtually or online while in-person.

Editable PPT versions of worksheets: So that educators can arrange the order of topics as is convenient.

Additionally, materials and instructions are included for students to create two major projects, either a poster of large booklet. These projects can be accounted for as summative assessments and all necessary information is included for students to gather and present.
