From this lesson student will be able to ask and answer questions as who, what, where, when, why, and how to demonstrate understanding of key details in a text. From this lesson a book about Africa would be giving t the students. They would have to share what is interesting about their book cover and to predict what it might be about. From this I believe that students will say anything because the lesson plan does not give them many action goals. Students should be told exactly what is expected from them.

This lesson plan sounds fun however at this grade lever I believe …show more content…

There are multiple examples of major changes in Africa that I could talk about for this exam. But being that I only need a few pages, I will focus on, for this exam, rise and end of the Malinke Empire and Songhay, the religious influences throughout Ethiopia, trading towns in the east of Africa, and most of the Iron Age societies. The examples of change will display how towns and kingdoms would come and go, the people settling there, or development of new productions and technology. I will then explain if the examples were of benefit or not to Africa’s continents for years to come.

I chose the book Freedom on the Menu: The Greensboro Sit-Ins by Carole Boston Weatherford, illustrated by Jerome Lagarrigue. I chose this book because it has a personal, kid-friendly interpretation of an important historical event, and it offers an important lesson on empathy and privilege. I chose to model my lesson plan after the “Upon the Clouds of Equality” lesson plan for Doreen Rappaport’s book Martin’s Big Words. I felt this lesson plan worked as a model for my book because it has really detailed instructions for the activity. It provides guided discussion questions, which is something I wanted for my lesson plan.

Robert Davis, a retired elementary school teacher from New Orleans (Who was 64!), was arrested and brutally beaten by police on suspicion of public intoxication. On the night of Oct. 9, 2005, just a little over a month after Hurricane Katrina, Davis returned to New Orleans to check on his family’s property and went to a gas station to buy cigarettes. There, he was attacked by four police officers who said he was “Belligerent and resisted arrest by not allowing them to handcuff him.” The beatings were videotaped by somebody that worked for a newspaper, who was also assaulted that night. The officers were either fired or suspended for their involvement, but many of the charges against them were deleted.
