What Was the March on Washington?
What Was the March on Washington? | Kathleen Krull
3 posts | 3 read | 3 to read
On August 28, 1963, more than 200,000 people gathered in Washington, DC, to demand equal rights for all races. It was there that Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech, and it was this peaceful protest that spurred the momentous civil rights laws of the mid-1960s. With black-and-white artwork throughout and sixteen pages of photographs, the March is brought to life!

Gotta love these books! What Was the March on Washington by Kathleen Krull is a NF book about this very famous event in American history. This book can be used for IR for social studies units and also during Black history month. UDL principle 3.1 and 2.1 along with ESOL strategy 28 work well with this book.

Edenmonet What was the March on Washington looks like a great book! It‘s so important for student to learn about historical leaders who made a difference in people‘s lives. I like the activity in your lesson plan where the students listen to “I Have a Dream” and draw a pictures based off of the dreams Dr. Martin Luther King had. 5y

What Was the March on Washington by Kathleen Krull and illustrated by Tim Tomkinson is a nonfiction chapter book that would be perfect for GR or even LC. https://www.scholastic.com/teachers/books/what-was-the-march-on-washington-by-ka... By having questions for the students to answer while they read is so important to always set a purpose for reading. Having the “what was” and “who was” books in your classroom library

Gabylaurel10 Is perfect for students to be able to learn more about social studies in a fun way that also endorses reading! The UDL principle 3.3 of guiding informations would be perfect with a guided reading lesson. The ESOL Strategy 13 would be good to preview the text of knowing prior knowledge and then reviewing what the students learned! #UCFLAE3414SuB18 6y

What Was the March on Washington written by Kathleen Krull and illustrated by Tim Tomkinson is a nonfiction novel that details the March on Washington. It covers the events leading up to the march such as Rosa Park‘s refusal to stand up, and the way African Americans were treated in these times. It leads into how the idea of having the march came to be and how much work it was to put it all together.

ChelseaPerez It goes into great detail about the day of the march and the musicians and speakers who made demonstrations to the crowds, including Martin Luther King Jr‘s “I Have A Dream” speech. The novel manages also to recount the aftermath of the march and the deaths of then President John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. It tells of the legislative changes made for African Americans as well. 6y
ChelseaPerez This book includes mentions of very notable names, as well as the names of those who may be lesser known, but a major influence to the success of the march and the fight for African American Rights. I have used this book in a Literature Circle myself and it was such a wonderful catalyst for discussion about concepts, vocabulary, and connections. 6y
ChelseaPerez Here is a fantastic website to help prepare teachers to use Literature Circles in a way that is meaningful!
