https://padlet.com/marissalvogel/m8c5vnd1ce9a How did America handle its racist ideologies? Did we learn from the cruel past and change our ways? en-us 2016-08-04 19:19:45 UTC 2016-08-06 01:15:39 UTC hello@padlet.com marissalvogel https://padlet.com/marissalvogel/m8c5vnd1ce9a/wish/117568145 A short video to use at the beginning of our exploration of racism and civil rights in general. This video gives a brief history of the civil rights movement. While watching, pause and discuss how students feel about what has happened in the past and if they have seen it happening today. ]]> 2016-08-04 22:37:19 UTC https://padlet.com/marissalvogel/m8c5vnd1ce9a/wish/117568145 marissalvogel https://padlet.com/marissalvogel/m8c5vnd1ce9a/wish/117568429 Read aloud and discuss with students. Have additional copies for students to use as they read alone or in small groups. Students would illustrate the portion of the story that affected them the most using materials of their choice. These would be displayed and discussed in whole group.]]> 2016-08-04 22:44:41 UTC https://padlet.com/marissalvogel/m8c5vnd1ce9a/wish/117568429 marissalvogel https://padlet.com/marissalvogel/m8c5vnd1ce9a/wish/117569190 Another book from the past which should be read aloud and then left out for students to explore. After discussing students' thoughts and feelings about the story, the teacher should point out how there still may be segregation at school. Do you ever leave anyone out of playing games? Do you ever tell someone they can't sit with you? Discuss]]> 2016-08-04 23:06:00 UTC https://padlet.com/marissalvogel/m8c5vnd1ce9a/wish/117569190 marissalvogel https://padlet.com/marissalvogel/m8c5vnd1ce9a/wish/117569585 Hold a discussion before reading about something that was so important to students that they wanted to do something about it. Read aloud the story and stop along the way to point out how brave it was for everyone to stand up for what they thought was right (equality no matter your race). Have students act out or illustrate a picture of how they can be brave for a good purpose.]]> 2016-08-04 23:14:09 UTC https://padlet.com/marissalvogel/m8c5vnd1ce9a/wish/117569585 marissalvogel https://padlet.com/marissalvogel/m8c5vnd1ce9a/wish/117570330 Whether read aloud or by students, the illustrations tell half the story. Have students discuss or write how the illustrator helped to tell the story without using additional words. A general "Did these people's behavior make sense?" and "How would you feel?" discussion should follow. Students could make a "reverse green book" which lists kind sayings and helpful tips to everyone.]]> 2016-08-04 23:24:41 UTC https://padlet.com/marissalvogel/m8c5vnd1ce9a/wish/117570330 marissalvogel https://padlet.com/marissalvogel/m8c5vnd1ce9a/wish/117571566 Students should read this by themselves and then converse in small groups. ]]> 2016-08-04 23:44:15 UTC https://padlet.com/marissalvogel/m8c5vnd1ce9a/wish/117571566 marissalvogel https://padlet.com/marissalvogel/m8c5vnd1ce9a/wish/117572543 With so many vivid and moving illustrations, students would love to see real photographs of the time period. Create a Power Point with a collection of images depicting the segregation discussed in the book. Also, this is a great text for students to discuss peaceful protesting, and then create one of their own (in skit form or a real one!).]]> 2016-08-05 00:00:26 UTC https://padlet.com/marissalvogel/m8c5vnd1ce9a/wish/117572543 marissalvogel https://padlet.com/marissalvogel/m8c5vnd1ce9a/wish/117574716 Bring students further back in time to point out that many people have felt the effects of racism.

Students could then use a double entry journal to discuss what portions touched them the most and how we can learn from the past. ]]> 2016-08-05 01:18:21 UTC https://padlet.com/marissalvogel/m8c5vnd1ce9a/wish/117577619 marissalvogel https://padlet.com/marissalvogel/m8c5vnd1ce9a/wish/117577913 To be used as a choice book for double entry journaling along with The Trail of Tears.]]> 2016-08-05 01:22:12 UTC https://padlet.com/marissalvogel/m8c5vnd1ce9a/wish/117577913 marissalvogel https://padlet.com/marissalvogel/m8c5vnd1ce9a/wish/117578803 A perfect book to depict how racism is still rearing its ugly head today. This story will reinforce the anti-bullying message that is being spread throughout our communities. Students can share times when they have been bullied for something they could not control such as race, skin or hair color, clothing, etc. Each small group could come with a positivity/friendliness campaign to present to the class.]]> 2016-08-05 01:33:30 UTC https://padlet.com/marissalvogel/m8c5vnd1ce9a/wish/117578803 marissalvogel https://padlet.com/marissalvogel/m8c5vnd1ce9a/wish/117579444 Students should study the facial expressions and the emotions that they convey.
