Summary: |
|
| Giovanni tells the story of Rosa Parks' infamous bus ride. In the telling, the author speaks to the strength of the African-American community in their struggle for equal rights. The author weaves other tales (Emmett Till) into the story to give the reader a better understanding of what was happening at that time. | |
Teaching Ideas: |
|
| Students may want to compare the telling of the bus story from several accounts, perhaps preparing Venn diagrams to compare/ contrast or a semantic web for supporting details. Journal writing and discussions centering around Mrs. Parks's life and contributions would work well. Check out the Civil Rights thematic collection on this database. | |
