February is Black History Month so today we will introduce students to what Black History Month is all about with this 5 minute video (appropriate for all ages) and then hear a story inspired by Rosa Parks called The Bus Ride by William Miller, illustrated by John Ward, and introduced by Rosa Parks.
Watch This Video First!
Once you’ve watched the video, listen to the story:
Discussion Questions:
- Why does Sara feel sad for her mother at the start of the story?
- If you had to follow different rules because of your race or skin colour, how would you feel?
- Would you have had the courage to sit at the front of the bus, even if it was against the law?
- How does Sara become a hero to others?
