5th Grade Black History Month Resources

If you are looking for a way to teach your students about the history and significance of the civil rights movement in the United States, get this bundle of Civil Rights Movement Reading Comprehension passages. This will help to engage the students with high-quality texts and meaningful questions that will deepen their understanding and spark their curiosity, especially during Black History Month.

The passages are perfect for grades 4, 5, and 6, but can also be used for higher or lower grades depending on the students’ reading level and background knowledge.

This bundle contains several reading comprehension passages that cover some of the most important events and figures of the civil rights movement.

The passages included in this bundle are:

• The Civil Rights Act of 1964 & The Voting Rights Act of 1965: Engage the students with the landmark legislation that outlawed discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, and that protected the voting rights of African Americans and other minorities.
• Martin Luther King Jr. Day: These are 3 pages about the life and legacy of the most influential leader of the civil rights movement, and how his birthday became a national holiday that celebrates his vision of peace and justice.
• Rosa Parks and The Montgomery Bus Boycott: Learn about the courageous act of defiance by Rosa Parks that sparked a year-long boycott of the segregated bus system in Montgomery, Alabama, and that inspired a nationwide movement for racial equality.
• The March on Washington: The passage is about the historic demonstration that brought more than 200,000 people to the nation’s capital to demand civil and economic rights for African Americans, and that featured the famous “I Have a Dream” speech by Martin Luther King Jr.
• Brown v. Board of Education: Help the students learn about the landmark Supreme Court case that declared racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional, and that paved the way for the integration of education in America.

Each passage is followed by a set of questions that test the students’ comprehension, vocabulary, and critical thinking skills. In addition, each passage comes with an answer key that provides detailed explanations for each question.

This bundle can be used for whole-class instruction, small-group work, independent practice, homework, or assessment. It can also be integrated into social studies, language arts, or literacy units.

Need an awesome Art Unit? I have just the thing for you! This creative Jacob Lawrence Storefront Scene was designed to be printed and displayed as examples while you teach. Use this Google Slide file to display these beautiful images one-by-one on a large screen. It is best to use 18 x 24 white paper for this unit, since this will be a rather large artwork. This unit should last 4-(50 minute) class periods. I allowed the use of crayon for larger areas on the paper (like the sky, road, sidewalk, and buildings). I allowed the use of colored pencils for small, detailed areas. I hope you and your kiddos love this! Enjoy.

This is a scavenger hunt using task cards that is based on the key figures that helped to abolish slavery and are studied in the 4th grade curriculum. Students will read about Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglass, Samuel Cornish, William Lloyd Garrison, Sojourner Truth, John Brown, Abraham Lincoln, Susan B. Anthony and Harriet Beecher Stowe. This activity will have students reading about how each individual aided the abolition movement. Check out the preview to see what each task card entails. Students will need to walk around the room reading the task cards. Each task card has a code word on the bottom which is the answer to the question/fill in the blank. The answer will NOT be found on that same task card. For example, the answer to task card #1 is found by reading the passage on task card #8. Students MUST record which task card they found the answer on in their answer sheet under the “FOUND CARDS #” column. That column will be used at the end for the 4 digit lock code. They will follow the clues to find the correct 4 digit code.

This activity would be a great review before assessments, as a center activity, a group activity, etc. Students will be engaged with the learning while having a fun time trying to solve all of the clues!
