Parent Guide > Rosa Parks
Welcome to the parent guide for this text! Read below to find out about what your child is reading in class and how you can support him/her at home.
This week in class, we’re reading "Rosa Parks" by Britannica Kids.
In "Rosa Parks," Britannica Kids explains how Parks' actions inspired the start of the civil rights movement.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of America, Community, Honor & Courage, Resilience & Success, and Social Change & Revolution as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"How has America changed over time?", "What is the importance of community?", "What does it mean to be brave?", "How does a person overcome adversity?", and "How do people create change?"
