I chose Rosa Parks because many of our students have heard about Rosa Parks throughout Social Studies curriculum. Rosa Parks is a great female role model for not giving up and fighting for what you believe in. Students can compare Rosa Parks and Ruby Bridges by making connections of what makes a role model.

I would use the clips and instructional resources to teach my 3rd graders about Ruby Bridges. I chose Ruby Bridges because she faced a lot of hate and injustices at such a young age. Young students have a greater chance of connecting to Ruby Bridges to understand what she has done as a Civil Rights activist.
Ruby Bridges can teach students that young girls and women can stand up for what is right and can be the ones that are making a change in the world. Young girls and boys need to experience a positive female role model in order to understand the importance of equality.

Students after reading about Ruby Bridges will demonstrate that they understand perspective and point of view. Students will create comments as the perspective of Ruby Bridges (or any historical figure), to show they have an understanding of the Civil Rights Movement.

Use the format of an Instagram post to help students understand perspective and point of view. Students create a username, image, and comments from the perspective of a book character or historical figure. The activity is a big win with the students and is a creative way to assess what students understand about an event in history or an important scene in a story.

Students use a template to add three comments about a chosen scene or event. The students consider how people might interact to create comments that respond to the post image they draw.

In my case, I used this as a history activity to review Cortez, Pizarro, and the conquest of the Inca and Aztec people. The activity could easily be adapted for key scenes from a novel study or any history topics.
