All lesson plans were designed for Middle School (grades 6-8), although they can be easily adapted to meet your needs. Teachers using this/these lesson(s) should modify to bring cultural relevancy to their own classrooms through the insertion of current topical events and/or relevant revisions that link more closely to their particular student population or context.

The aim of the Baltimore Story lesson plans is to provide teachers and their students with historical figures and/or events that include representation connecting to Baltimore which have historically been missing in K-12 curriculum.
