I prefer my heroines to be less modest and more cunning. More importantly, I think it's a really good idea to teach how to be civilly disobedient. That it is a choice we can make, and that it is a better choice than say, getting a mob together on Facebook to storm the Capital. We’ve teamed up with Little People, Big Dreams to bring you this brilliant Rosa Parks Quiz. The colourful PowerPoint is certain to excite and engage your learners and save you hours of precious prep time! It includes 12 questions that will test children’s knowledge of Rosa Parks’ early life, the segregation laws in America, Rosa’s arrest, and the Montgomery Bus Boycott. On the other hand, I really appreciated that this didn't take the inaccurate narrative that Rosa didn't move on the bus because she was tired. I feel like when I learned about her in school, the narrative was that she was tired of working and just couldn't move instead of she was tired of poor treatment and was choosing to take a stand. So I liked that this made it really clear that she was taking deliberate action.

There are a lot of nonfiction picture books that are pretty much designed to give kindergartners the opportunity to look at several books and prepare a powerpoint presentation for their classmates in the way that primitive peoples once supposedly gave book reports. I don't recall ever doing that, but it seems ubiquitous in depictions of children's lives, so maybe I just forgot? Anyway, it it is an historical/biographical sort of series, Rosa Parks is my go to for evaluation. Very few people tell her story the way I like best. Rosa Parks as a hard-working and dignified woman of color who refused to give up her seat is pretty common. And I don't deny that Parks was brave: she knew full and damn well she was pulling a whole load of trouble down upon herself. She knew because it was a deliberate and considered act on her part. She knew because Claudette Colvin had already been there and done that, nine months earlier. Colvin was braver in one way because she was 15, pregnant, and unmarried when she refused to give up her seat, and she did it knowing just how little respect the world had for her. The life of Rosa Parks’ is already something to say “wow” about, and this book is great for showing younger students why. Little People, Big Dreams: Rosa Parks is a great biography about Parks and her life’s work. The book doesn’t just talk about the infamous bus incident, but focuses on why Parks always tries to do the right thing and fight for the people. The book shares a lesson about treating everyone fairly and with respect, touching on racism in a way for young children to understand. Growing up the apartheid system in South Africa seemed the evil of the 20th century and yet the USA has an appalling record which Segregation was but a part of it. Insofern ist die gesamte Little People, Big Dreams Reihe, an der man als Erwachsener ebenfalls seine Freude hat, eine ganz wundervolle Idee. So können Kinder, egal welchen Geschlechts, von klein auf mit starken, weiblichen Vorbildern aufwachsen, die noch dazu wirklich existiert und tatsächlich etwas bewegt haben, die also nicht nur der Phantasie eines Autors entsprungen sind. Außerdem ist es eine tolle Möglichkeit, um schon die Kleinsten an wichtige Themen heranzuführen und mit ihnen darüber zu sprechen.This was such a lovely book that I would love to give to my future children. It's part of a series about powerful women who have achieved wonderful things and there's such a broad selection from Rosa Parks to Amelia Earhart to Maya Angelou to Coco Chanel to Audrey Hepburn to Agatha Christie to a few more. I think it's nice to give kids books about real women who achieved incredible things and it's a fabulous idea. Comparison of Rosa Parks and Emily Davison (Ages 5 - 7) - Compare two strong women with two very different styles of protest - Rosa Parks and Emily Davison. Es wird deutlich gemacht, dass sie zwar eine Kämpferin für Gerechtigkeit war und viele in ihr noch heute eine Heldin sehen, sie aber trotzdem nur ein ganz normaler Mensch war. Die Botschaft ist folglich, dass auch „einfache“ Menschen wie sie etwas erreichen können, was Kinder hoffentlich dazu ermutigen wird ebenso furchtlos für ihre Überzeugungen einzutreten und niemals aufzugeben.
