MIDDLETOWN, Ohio — Instead of lessons or pop quizzes, a local school's culture committee decided to make Black History Month teaching a bit more engaging.
"It's American history; it's our history," Million said."They can find the richness and the history right here in our schools now." Students are working on videos about the 17 Black Middletown pioneers to share with local elementary school students. They're also learning more about Black history through a scavenger hunt, an idea from committee member Jennifer Gleason.
If the students complete the scavenger hunt and get all questions right, they get a prize, but Gleason said the lessons go far beyond the incentives.
