The Civil Rights Movement
Posted by Karen Engelke
Grade 4 has been learning about Martin Luther King and the Civil Rights Movement using the literacy skills of identifying the main idea and detail and summarizing. Students have been reading passages such as The Reasons and Causes of the Civil Rights Movement, The Greensboro Sit-Ins, The Bus Boycott, and more. This unit integrates literacy skills with Social Studies using higher-order thinking skills. Identifying the main idea/details and summarizing a text is a difficult skill for students to master. Therefore, they have been utilizing a number of graphic organizers and note-taking methods to hone in on this skill while learning about a significant time in our nation’s history.
