Ruth Bader Ginsburg Biography Nonfiction Text Activities: I Dissent Activities

This nonfiction text biography unit for Ruth Bader Ginsberg goes perfectly with the book, I Dissent: Ruth Bader Ginsburg Makes Her Mark by Debbie Levy (though you DON'T NEED ANY BOOKS to use this file) and includes various printable activities, graphic organizers, report templates, writing prompts, reflection pages, nonfiction text, as well as posters with Ruth Bader Ginsburg quotes.

A 10-page (half-sheet) mini-book comprised of nonfiction information, interesting facts, and reflection questions (please see preview) is perfect for students to make and read on their own or in literacy stations with a small group. It's also a great reference or research tool for them as they gather information about Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

This file includes the following:

  • biography mini-book
  • graphic organizers
  • biography report template
  • RBG quotes posters
  • reflection questions
  • growth mindset connections
  • writing a friendly letter
  • creating a newspaper article

In addition, this product can be used with ANY picture book or chapter book about Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Some of my favorite books include:

  • I Dissent: Ruth Bader Ginsburg Makes Her Mark by Debbie Levy
  • Ruth Bader Ginsburg: The Case of R.B.G. vs Inequality by Jonah Winter
  • Ruth Bader Ginsburg (Superwomen Role Models) by Heather Moore Niver

Though the intended grade levels are 3rd, 4th, and 5th, this product canbe modified and used with other grade levels. The biography mini-book reading level is between 3rd-5th grade, so please understand that 2nd grade might struggle with the text if asked to read it independently. Likewise, a 6th grader may find that text to be easy.

NOTE: THIS FILE INCLUDES A DIGITAL DISTANCE LEARNING OPTION!

This product includes a digital option (as well as the no prep printable option). The digital portion instructions appear at the end of the packet.

Please check out the preview and the thumbnails before purchasing, and allow me to answer any questions you might have!
