Yesterday
during Reading Workshop we read Rosa Parks. Students paid close attention to all of the
dates during the read aloud. Students
then added those dates to our Rosa Parks time line (pictured below). Students have been learning that biographies
are written in chronological order – biographies start at the beginning of the
person’s life and end with the person’s death.
Today we
learned about the turning point in a person’s life. The turning point might be an obstacle the
person is determined to overcome, a special talent that suddenly gets noticed,
or seeking a solution to a problem. A
turning point causes a person to change or leads to a new discovery. Students learned that a turning point in
Rosa’s life occurred on Dec. 1, 1955 when she did not give up her seat on a bus
and was arrested. As a result of Rosa
not giving up her set the “Bus Boycott” began.
Rosa is an important person because she sparked the civil rights
movement. Below is the turning point
diagram we completed for Rosa’s life.
