Description
Students map 6 civil rights cities, match each to its event and hero, and trace the 1961 Freedom Rides route across the South.
The Civil Rights Movement happened in real places your students can find on a map. From the Topeka school case to the Montgomery Bus Boycott, the Nashville sit-ins to the March on Washington, students label six cities and match each to its event and its hero — Thurgood Marshall, Rosa Parks, Diane Nash, and Dr. King. Then they trace the 1961 Freedom Rides route from Washington, D.C. through the Deep South.
WHAT'S INCLUDED (3 print-and-go pages):
★ Student map page — label 6 cities with an event-matching task (A–F), trace the Freedom Rides route, and color Tennessee — the only state with TWO cities on the map
★ Kid-friendly reading passage with a built-in highlight-the-evidence task, a Quick Check (3 questions, including a map-thinking question), and 2 QR codes — with the links typed out — to safe, kid-friendly history websites
★ Complete teacher answer key with a fully labeled and colored map
WHY TEACHERS LOVE IT:
★ Truly independent work — every answer students need is in the reading or one scan away (perfect for centers, early finishers, and sub plans)
★ Evidence-based coloring: students highlight the text first, then transfer the SAME colors to the map — reading and geography in one activity
★ Maps built from real geographic data — accurate outlines, not cartoon blobs
★ Prints great in color or black & white — students add all the color themselves
STANDARDS ALIGNMENT: Tennessee Social Studies 5.24 / T.C.A. § 49-6-1028 — covers all four required elements: MLK & nonviolent protest, Montgomery Bus Boycott & Rosa Parks, Brown v. Board & Thurgood Marshall, and the Freedom Riders & Diane Nash.
TEACHER NOTE: Written with care for 5th graders: honest about injustice, centered on courage, and ending with the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act. PERFECT FOR: centers • early finishers • sub plans • homework • TCAP review • interactive notebooks
