Launching the Text: Building Background Knowledge of Jim Crow South


Description

This lesson begins with a Gallery Walk to build background knowledge of the Jim Crow era of U.S. history and the desegregation of schools following Brown v. Board of Education. One of the stations on the Gallery Walk is a listening station for a song, “Ain’t Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me Around.” This song can be found by searching for “Sweet Honey Ain’t Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me Around” on free music or video streaming websites—for example, on YouTube.
