This is another book that I think that all children should learn about Rosa Parks is a historic figure that should never be forgotten and knowing multiple different stories about her is very important in history.

A picture book about Rosa Parks, and her monumental decision of not moving to the back of the bus when the white man told her to. It goes to the journey up to everyone finding out about her decision, and what went on from after that.

This book is a picture book account of Rosa Park's historic choice to say “no”. The book provides a wonderfully told story about the day Rosa Parks didn‘t give up her seat on the bus and the movement that it started.

I think this is a great book for students to learn about the differences that Rosa Parks made in the past and how much of an influence she had on the world. The illustrations were super realistic and warm toned so it really made certain colors pop.

Rosa is a biography about Rosa Parks. This book was written by Nikki Giovanni and illustrated by Bryan Collier. Rosa as been awarded the Caldecott Medal and Coretta Scott King Award for Illustrations. This wonderful picture book tells the story of Rosa Parks, the struggles that she faced, and how she became to be one of the greatest influencers in American History. #ucflae3414su20

JessicaO Rosa is great to use as a RA. After the RA, I have linked a few lesson plan ideas from scholastic. My favorite is having the students write newspaper articles about key events that happened in Rosa Parks life! The aligning UDL is 3.2 to highlight patterns, critical features, big ideas, and relationships. And the aligning ESOL strategy is #3 to encourage self talk or positive thinking. A high positive message can come from this lesson! 4y
Mazzole18 Jessica,
This looks like a good story to read especially to encourage self talk and positive thinking. It is important to educated students about racial injustice so history doesn't repeat itself.

DrSpalding What an authentic reason to write… A newspaper article. This shows the quality lesson plan ideas provided by Scholastic! Use them! 4y

Rosa by Nikki Giovanni and illustrated by Bryan Collier is a Caldecott award-winning biography (B) about Rosa Parks and the time she refused to give up her seat on the bus. This book also discusses the impact of her actions across the world.

Nikki Giovanni is a very famous author, poet, activist who was the first recipient of the Rosa Parks Woman of Courage Award.

Nkaufmann She is also a Grammy nominee and a three-time NAACP Image Award winner. Because of this, I think teachers should do a unit on her and her work (AS).

The UDL principle 3.1 regarding activating or supplying background knowledge and the EL principle 28 regarding providing biographies of significant men and women from different countries could be met by this book. Teachers should supply background knowledge on Rosa Parks before reading this book.
4y
Nkaufmann In addition, this book could be used for a history lesson as well as teachers can have students do a project on important figures in the world‘s history. (The students could use the biographies that the teacher has provided in the classroom. This would be helpful to ELLs as they could do a project on an important figure in their home country.)

JessicaO Getting a good set of book about race is great to have in the class. Your resources are great and the standards that you have will make for a great lesson about diversity! I am so excited to add this to my classroom library! Thank you. 4y
DrSpalding Using the publishers website is a wise choice. You are correct that this can and should be used with a social studies unit. English learner strategy 28 is perfect! You taught me more about Nikki Giovanni! Wow! 4y

Rosa by Nikki Giovanni by Bryan Collier was such an eye opening book. I also think this book should be read to children so they learn about Rosa Parks and how she changed the world we live in today. This book is about an inspiring event that shaped American history. After fifty years of her refusal to give up her seat on a Montgomery, Alabama city bus, Rosa Parks is still one of the most important figures in American. Such an amazing story!

(CMC) Rosa is a Biography on the life of Rosa Parks. This book would be a great RA during black history month at your school. An ESOL strategy would be 39 which could give students the chance to learn about Rosa through homework of assigned short readings. An UDL principle would be 2.3 which supports decoding of text, mathematical notation and symbols.

AlyssaB A great resource of facts and worksheets on Rosa Park would be https://kidskonnect.com/people/Rosa-parks/ #UCFLAE3414F19 5y

Rosa is a biography written by Nikki Giovanni and illustrated by Bryan Collier. It describes Rosa‘s refusal to give up her seat but in a unique was that the reader knows exactly how she was feeling. It is a Caldecott and Coretta Scott King Award Winner. This would be a great book for a RA to model fluent reading and incorporate a booktalk. UDL 2.5 would be useful to illustrate through multiple media.

MeaganM There are very informative videos about Rosa Parks that could be adapted through a variety of grade levels. This would be vital for your EL learners for strategy #16 to integrate speaking, listening, reading and writing activities. The following website is a great resource to learn strategies for an effective read aloud. Https://www.advancementcourses.com/blog/readaloud-strategies #ucflae3414su19 (edited) 5y
MeganKlein @MeaganM, I could totally see this book being read to students during Black History Month! Students would be very interested to learn more about Rosa Parks and her courageous acts. Also, for a writing activity, students could even write a paragraph or two in the perspective of Rosa Parks. Students would basically put themselves in her shoes and describe how they would feel if they were living during the same time she was. Great book choice! 5y
DrSpalding While your resource notes that storytelling and read aloud are considered synonymous, which is incorrect, the rest of the information is helpful! I like the idea of connecting this book to social studies and a writing activity. This could be used in many grade levels! 5y

Rosa parks is one of the most famous fighters in American history. This biography tells the story of this incredible woman and her journey. The story takes place in 1955 in Alabama when Rosa refused to give her seat up to a white man. This decision changed history for African American people and women.

#ANewChapter Day 8: Standing for something is definitely #AQuoteToLiveBy. I reviewed tagged book a few years back and found it utterly compelling. We know that despite the ‘neutrality‘ of the spaces we move in – some places are still more ‘neutral‘ than others. And so we pick the battles that matter m, stand our ground with quiet dignity, and allow ‘soul force‘ to be the source of our strength. My full review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-1Rv

This NF by Nikki Giovanni and illustrated by Bryan Collier is a Caldecott Honor Book! It is a poetically written picture book with amazing and award winning illustrations. It is an interpretation and tribute to Rosa Parks‘s courageous actions including the initial incident of her refusal to give up her seat on the bus, and events that followed like MLK‘s involvement and the Women‘s Political Council who met in secrete to create the bus boycott. .

Erothert A DR would be fun to use for this book. http://teacher.scholastic.com/lessonplans/bookfairs/currconnection/rosa.htm is an awesome resource and timeline worksheet provided by Scholastic to use while reading this book. UDL strategy met by the timeline is 3.2 highlight patterns, critical features, big ideas and relationships. And EL strategy 42. Have students use timelines to arrange and sequence important facts and information. #ucflae3414sp18 6y
JayaJ This books seems very interesting, would definitely have to check it out! 6y

Rosa written by Nikki Giovanni illustrated by Bryan Collier winning the Caldecott and Coretta Scott King Awards retells the story of the courageous Rosa Park and how she changed history forever. This story would be good to us as a RA, RT, PR, and DR. UDL Strategy 7.3 and ESOL Strategies 4, 5, and 8. This a link that would be great to us during Black History Month http://www.educationworld.com/a_lesson/03/lp297-02.shtml

Rosa written by Nikki Giovanni and illustrated by Bryan Collier is a Caldecott Honor B book about Rosa Parks that would work well as a RA. I would read this book during Black History Month and tie it into a lesson on the civil rights movement and U.S. history. #ucflae3414f17

JuliaMurra https://www.scholastic.com/teachers/lesson-plans/teaching-content/rosa-parks-how...
I would use this lesson after reading the book to challenge students to think about the civil rights movement and how Rosa Parks helped shape history. This lesson would align with EL 36 ask numerous questions which require higher level thinking responses and EL 16 integrate speaking, listening, reading and writing activities.
7y
JuliaMurra It would also align with UDL 6.3 facilitate managing information and resources because students are given various methods of taking notes and organizing information with the given worksheets. 7y
Juliemorell I love how you discussed using this book during black history month. I think it's always great to look for books with a plan/goal in mind. 7y
DrSpalding Absolutely. These biographies need to be shared with students during a unit of study. Black history month is an excellent time to use them. You should be reading at least one book if not more every day. 7y
