Civil Rights Movement Interactive Read Aloud and Close Reading Unit
- PDF
Description
This Civil Rights Movement Reading Unit will engage your students as they learn about Linda Brown, Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr., the bus boycott, Jim Crow laws, sit-ins, and much more while working on six Common Core Standards for reading. Included in the bundle are 11 days of lesson plans along with a 29-page student packet and sample answer key.
Each lesson includes a read aloud with scripted think alouds to model thinking involving the common core standards, shared reading where students do close reading of common texts, and reading workshop. Nonfiction reading skills such as previewing, predicting, accessing prior knowledge, using text features, considering author's purpose and point of view will all be reinforced along with figurative language and making inferences.
