Little Rock Nine. Introductory and Close Read Activity

This is not intended to be an activity for an entire class period.

Students are given a brief overview of the Little Rock Nine and then are asked to work through the 5Ws (Who, What, Where, When, and Why) after having done a close read of the passages within the PowerPoint.

In addition I have included five enrichment questions, which are primarily DOK 2 and DOK 3 questions, that can be used for a deeper understanding of the material.

Total Close Read Slides: 4 (Asking for main idea, supporting evidence, and textual evidence)

Total Questions: 10 (5W and 5 Enrichment)

Information comes from; -National Parks Service

Finally, an answer key is on the last slide of the slideshow
