2. REMINDERS!!!! Vocab is due on Friday! You will also have a quiz that day! Please remember that we won’t see each other on Tuesday, but you will still be responsible for vocab on Friday!

3. Personal Protest - Rosa Parks : We will watch a video about Rosa Parks, who is known as the “Mother of Civil Rights.” It was her protest on the Montgomery bus that allowed the Movement to begin taking an even greater stand against segregation. As you watch, you need to keep a list of some of the important people who worked with Parks to keep the boycott going, as well as the tactics the boycott used to get to work, financially support the movement, etc. We should have time in class today to start reading the autobiography about Parks on pgs. 276-279. After we discuss the biography, we’ll look at the poem, “Rosa,” which gives us another picture of this brave pioneer!
