Great project. I love the way you integrated library research and whiteboard collaboration into the mix.
Thanks for the motivation. I will be checking out Mural as well.

West Chester University, Challenge Based Learning and Antiracism
FYE 100 Faculty Memoji Slide
After reading the book in class last Fall we embarked on a Challenge Based Learning project. The class to Challenge Based Learning (CBL), and walked the class though the Taking Action on Racial Equity and Justice Learning Challenge Series—Discussion Guide and Workbook. https://education-static.apple.com/cfc/conversations-discussion-guide.pdf
Taking Action on Racial Equity and Justice Learning Challenge Series—Discussion Guide and Workbook
To introduce CBL and the workbook we used of an online collaboration tool called Mural (screenshot below). Trying to wrangle such a large group of students was a big task, but we pulled it off. The class was split into groups of 3-5 students, and they worked through big ideas and guiding questions.

The culminating project was a poster. The student groups used iPads and Keynote to create their posters. We printed them on super sized paper and shared them at a poster session at the end of the semester. Think professional conference style poster session. Even of university president showed up to the poster session and heard first hand from our teacher candidates about their big ideas for being anti-racist.
Here are two examples of completed posters.

This Fall we will be doing a similar CBL project, but focusing on community impact.
