Cemetery Education Lesson Plans

Explore the AABG Cemetery Education Lesson Plan Collections.

Cemeteries are like open-air museums that contain the histories of many. Even in situations where the cemetery no longer exists, studying it can still illuminate the histories of an area. These lesson plans were designed by Dr. Hillary Van Dyke and reviewed by Michelle Anderson. They are .doc format so that you can make any edits to the worksheets you need to make. The hope is to add to the amazing work of the African American Burial Grounds and Remembering Project and to encourage Tampa Bay teachers to bring these histories into their classrooms. If you find the lessons helpful or have notes for improvement, please email Dr. Hillary Van Dyke.
