During Reading
Say and ask: Read to the end of page 8 and then be prepared discuss what was going on between the time Martin Luther King was born and when he went to college. How would you feel if you could only use certain drinking fountains? How would you feel if you could only sit in certain seats on the bus?
Have children read pages 9 and 10 to find out what happened next. Have children read the rest of the book independently. Have them mark with a sticky note any word or phrase they did not understand or could not pronounce. You can clarify these later. During this time you may choose to work with another group. Alternatively, you may wish to work individually with some children to monitor their oral reading and comprehension of parts of the text.
Say: I want you to finish reading the book at your own pace. As you read, I want you to stop each time you come to a new date and think what happened between that date and the previous date. When you have finished reading, I’m going to ask you to list the important events in the order that they happened.
