Teachers, save “Civil Rights Around the World — Practice…” to assign it to your class.

Teacher Notes (not visible to students)

This packet introduces students to civil rights movements in South Africa and India using short informational passages, evidence-based comprehension questions, and multimedia or drawing responses. Use the reading fluency recordings to check oral reading skills and use the comprehension pages to practice finding text evidence. For the partner activity, prepare simple sticky notes or paper and pencils so students can write their two-sentence summary. You may also provide colored pencils or markers for poster drawings and a device for short videos if allowed. Encourage respectful discussion and remind students to use “I think…” language. For open-ended responses: high-quality answers for the creative poster should show a clear connection to a chosen country, include one or more vocabulary words from the list, and explain the problem and the peaceful action used. A strong real-world connection answer will describe a specific unfair event, name feelings, and suggest a clear, peaceful action students can try. For the pair-and-share sticky note, a high-quality response names new learning from the partner and gives one clear agreed idea. Teachers can mark these as correct if they include text-based evidence or clear, relevant examples and show understanding; mark incorrect if answers are off-topic or do not use evidence when requested.
