Over the next few weeks we will be reading a lot of children's books about the Civil Rights Movement. We will be learning about racism and segregation. We learn that during this time, people did not act the way Jesus intended for us to act. We will also learn about the very courageous people such as Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks and Ruby Bridges who stood up for what they believed in to help work towards positive changes.
Our reading strategy focus right now is "asking questions." Using this theme always provokes deep / meaningful questions from the various texts we read. Students begin asking higher level questions which elicit conversation about the texts main ideas, messages, lessons, morals, character feelings etc. It really is a rich unit with so many learning opportunities!
