Looks awesome! Very thorough. Impressive project and results (especially for middle school level). Definitely adaptable for other grades as well. Do you find that students get more excited and invested when you incorporate the history and culture? Seems to work that way for me...

Thanks! I totally agree. I think it's easier to get them to take ownership of the project if they understand the context in which the art they are looking at for inspiration was created. I try to do this for most of my projects, but not every one.

Thanks CaptureCreativity, you've inspired me to tackle posting my first full lesson. I have to be honest, the process was a little intimidating, but it is definitely worth the effort to share.
I know I have already benefited from some awesome planners out there! Thank you!

I posted one on Gee's Bend Quilts the other day for Elementary. It is a great lesson for Black History month and it could be a short 1-2 day lesson or could be expanded. Would even be good for middle school or high school if they brought in pieces of fabric that held special meaning to them. A great elementary book to go along with this lesson in Stichin' and Pullin'. It has beautiful illustrations and the story is told in poems.
