Teaching Ideas: |
|
| This book could be used in a text set on Civil Rights or women's studies for Black History Month or Women's History Month. Strategies such as Agree? Disagree? or Discussion Webs would enable students to explore Ida Wells-Barnett's controversial decisions, beginning perhaps with her decision to return home after her parents' death from yellow fever to care for 5 siblings. Summary activities, either chronologically or by chapter, would also work well. | |
