Instructional Ideas

  • Assign one of the readings and accompanying questions for homework the night before a lesson on Rosa Parks
  • Use as a reading assessment passage when focusing on informational text

Classroom Considerations

  • Timeline activity requires access to the Internet
  • Photographs on several pages are in color, but printing in black and white shouldn't obscure comprehension

Pros

  • Includes two different reading passages, allowing you to differentiate easily between reading levels in the class
  • Assesses understanding of the main idea and historical context of the passage as well as textual details

Cons

  • None
