Lesson Plan

Historical Thinking Matters: Rosa Parks: Textbook

Curated by ACT

In this lesson, students critique a standard textbook account of Rosa Parks and the Montgomery Bus Boycott. They read and analyze two primary documents and consider how this evidence specifically contests the textbook's account. Then students write a revised textbook account or an editorial pointing out the textbook account's deficiencies and how these affect our understanding of this important event.
