I feel through this lesson I want to focus on the segregation laws and events surrounding the early stages of the Civil Rights moments. The book, The Bus Ride That Changed Historyis directed towards grade 2^nd-4^thwith illustrations allowing for conversation after. From research it is stated that each new page builds from the previous one leaving listeners interested. In order to pursue with this idea I would want to order the book while reading it to make sure a lesson can be built off it. I feel this is a topic is sensitive to teach however it is essential for children’s learning. Growing up in a biracial family with two adopted cousins caused a lot of questions as children. I feel being able to teach this is idea to young children would really allow myself to dive into the lesson. Mostly, because it is something that touches me as well as my family.  As a elementary student I loved when the teacher played a BrainPOP video at the beginning of class. I feel that I would want to incorporate some sort of video at the start of the lesson to catch the students attention. Then later having some sort of interactive activity or exit slip that can formally assess if the students captured the main idea of the lesson.  I feel like as a teacher I would want tips on how to go about this lesson in a sensitive manner as well as examples of texts as well as assignments that could follow the read aloud. In addition, to free access to video websites such as BrainPOP or Scholastic. Overall, is an idea of a topic that I found myself drawn too right at the start.
