Focusing on the Civil Rights Movement
Posted by Karen EngelkeGrade 4 has been learning about several notable women in the Civil Rights Movement using the literacy skills of identifying the main idea and details and summarizing. Students have been reading passages such as The Reasons and Causes of the Civil Rights Movement, The Bus Boycott, and Young People of the Civil Rights Movement. They learned about Rosa Parks, Ayanna Najuma, and Barbara Johns in these passages. This unit integrates literacy skills with Social Studies using higher-order thinking skills. Identifying the main idea/details and summarizing a text can be challenging, but our students demonstrated their understanding by creating a creative and insightful infomap in the shape of a bus to represent key events of the Bus Boycott movement.
