Instructional Ideas

  • If class members are unfamiliar with Think-Pair-Share and Read-Aloud, take time to model these processes

Classroom Considerations

  • Sixth in a series of nine lessons from a read-aloud anthology about the American Civil Rights Movement

Pros

  • Included in the 14-page packet are inferential and evaluative discussion questions as well as masters for the images

Cons

  • The instructional masters for the free-verse writing assignment are not included in the packet
