I have previously used a single copy of the books Happy Birthday Martin Luther King and The Story of Ruby Bridges as read-alouds to introduce the civil rights movement and to learn more information about these two American heroes. Students always ask me for these books to take home in their book baggy. I find the stories are told in a way that is appropriate for the lower grades. Many students want to read these stories even if the stories are a bit above their reading level. Therefore, I want to put a book in the hands of each of my students so they get a chance to share what they are reading and learning about with their families. Then we brainstorm the important details and write about what we learned. With some students, this leads to essay writing.
