Included in this unit are topics such as The Civil Rights Movement (Martin’s Big Words and The Story of Ruby Bridges), the Underground Railroad (Henry’s Freedom Box and Sojourner Truth’s Step-Stomp Stride), Kindness, Confidence, and Acceptance (Each Kindness, Crown: An Ode to the Fresh Cut), and Perseverance (Wilma Unlimited, Amazing Grace, When Marian Sang, and Salt in His Shoes). Several of the titles would work well with a unit on biographies too. Please note-This bundle is recommended for grades 4 and up due to the themes and types of activities.

Although these titles include sensitive topics, students in fourth and fifth grade learn about these points in history and these titles are some of the best options to use in conjunction with your content area studies. If you have any questions or need help in using these resources, please reach out to me. I have used all of these resources with my students. and received very positive feedback from other teachers.
