I was working through our lesson plans I thought I would share Unit Studies for Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, and Curtis Mayfield. Also, you can check out the Lesson Plan/ Unit Study I created for Shirley Chisolm. Throughout the month Charlie and I will be creating Lesson Plans/ Unit Studies.

Thank you, Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
