A carefully prepared unit on Rosa Parks and the bus boycott, a great part of a wider civil rights or black history unit. The sequence takes students through the bus boycott story to the writing of a diary from the perspective of Rosa and/or James Blake.
Lesson step outline included, story sequencing cards, Images, 3 different levels of text, 2 different scaffolding sheets on perspectives and 2 diary writing pages.
A bundle for the topic of racism, prejudice, segregation and discrimination.
-A fantastic, heavily differentiated, Rosa Parks unit to introduce the topic and get students thinking about segregation and the injustice of it.
-A cute PPT introducing the language so students understand the different forms of racism, but bringing in the relevance to real life.
-An alien message decoding activity. Aliens from the future explain that the students are to do a show about racism and how to handle it.
