1. The students will independently read the Rosa Parks text. The students can access the text on digital devices, or the teacher can print the text for students. Students have the option to have the text read aloud through the Gale in Context platform. Teachers will need to make sure students know how to select this option prior to this step.
2. The students will read the article for a second time with partner groups. The teacher will assign each student a main idea (see five bullet points listed at the beginning of the article). Students who are assigned the same main idea will form a partner group. Students will read this time with a focus on identifying details that support their assigned main idea. For the third read, students will use the highlight tool to highlight the details that support their identified main idea. If paper copies are being used, students can use a highlighter to highlight the supporting details.
3. When all partner groups have finished, groups will share the details they identified that support the identified main ideas. Students will use Jamboard to share their ideas so that the class can stay engaged. If digital devices are not available, students can share their ideas using chart paper.
