Civil Rights: Rosa Parks Compare and Contrast

We have read an interesting article on Rosa Parks from the Duckster website this week. Today, students will have the chance to compare and contrast the article with another article from the Scholastic reading site below. Here are some things to think about the articles when comparing and contrasting:

– Is there any new information presented by the Scholastic article?

– Did the authors write these articles for the same reason?

– Are the articles both organized in the same way?

We have been working on writing down small notes after reading  a chunk of text to check our comprehension because, “The most important thing is to comprehend!” (We say that a lot in here!) Check out Ixell, Francisco, and Amorie’s great notes. We can tell they really understood those paragraphs.

  1. Dear Mrs.felter
    I got a new idea about voting for class president and when I got home my sister was singing a song called the pre amble so I thought that we could listen to it.
    Have a good day

    • Dear Shannallie,

      I like that idea very much. It’s about time our classroom had an executive branch. What would our class president do?

      P.S. I’ll put the Preamble of the Constitution song on the blog for you. 🙂

      Sincerely,
      Mrs. F
