Summary: |
|
| Tells the story of the Birmingham Children's March through four participants. As the events unfold, the different perspectives and motivations of the participants shed light on the dynamics of the civil rights movement. In addition to the personal stories and narrative history, the text features timelines, primary documents, cultural tidbits, and photos. | |
Teaching Ideas: |
|
| Since this is extensive material, students may want to construct a matrix or a timeline to organize facts before discussing or writing about the children's marches. Readers could also choose one of the four young people in focus to integrate information throughout the book for a character essay-motivations, actions, lifelong impact, etc. | |
