As our research came to an end, we had some successes that really helped us with creating our lesson. One success was using the library research tab; we were able to collect information that was credible, reliable, and scholarly. The information we were receiving was reliable for us to teach our students and making sure that they were getting the correct information. Another success was having sources that guided our minds to ideas on how to relay this information to students. A breakthrough that we had was that we decided on a timeline that will give the students an idea … Continue reading Reflecting on Civil Rights and our lesson plan

After conducting my research and looking over my last blog post, the text I will continue to focus on is The Bus Ride That Changed History. This text was written by Pamela Duncan and she focuses on Rosa Parks’ story. From this text I am aiming to focus my lesson around 3rd and 4th graders. Personally, I have not read this book yet; however, through research it is stated that each page builds off the other which will leave young leaders interested. I plan on using visual-spatial and interpersonal intelligences throughout my lessons. A visual-spatial learner is a student who learns … Continue reading Civil Rights Movement

What I would teach

kelseyy31

Hello, my name is Kelsey Ciafone and welcome to my first blog post. While I was researching different topics the one that stood out the most was the Civil Rights movements.

Now, I’m interested in contemporary writing, and … Continue reading What I would teach
