This multiplatform educational project helps teach American history to middle school students through the stories of ordinary kids doing extraordinary things during seminal moments of the nation’s past. During Phase I of CPB’s American History and Civics Initiative, the grantee created a multiplatform suite of educational materials centered on the mini-docudrama Frederick Douglass: Pathway from Slavery to Freedom. For Phase II, the grantee will complete the build-out of the 2.0 Web site; two- to three-minute video modules to demonstrate how teachers can implement specific elements of the curriculum; a wiki about the life of Frederick Douglass; and a customized and expanded Young American Heroes tool set. The grantee will also complete and distribute a Frederick Douglass graphic novel to students and teachers to coincide with the national broadcast and launch of the full Web site.
