Content+Strategies+and+Live+Binder

The following binder is designed for educators to view as a tool to assist them in teaching reading within the content areas.

Civil Rights Movement
The graphic novel suplement included with the Glencoe Textbook, The American Republic to 1877 is a great reference and opener for lessons on the civil rights. I selected chapter 16, pages 98-100, to use with the following unit plan. I wanted to exand my lessons on the events that led up to the civil rights movement and the civil rights era. In middle school, most students are taught African American history as one or three paragraphs in each unit of the text. Then there is a very brief section that discusses the causes of the events during reconstruction. If students are lucky, their text will give a preview of the civil rights era that will be taught in high school. I really liked how the graphic novel (mentioned above and cited below) illustrated a progression from Emancipation Proclamation to the March on Washington. The graphic novel version really gives the reader an emotional connection to the story through the characters' facial expressions. I saw how I could introduce a civil rights timeline, vocabulary, cause and effect, as well as overall comprehension using this selection. Please click for more details about the unit plan.
