The Civil Rights Movement and EL Students
January is typically a time teachers devote to teaching about the Civil Rights Movement because of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. I employ you not to stop at Martin Luther King, Jr. though when teaching about this period in our country’s history! The Civil Rights movement was huge for immigrant families and English Language Learners as well.
Sylvia Mendez and her family were catalysts for change amongst immigrant families during the Civil Rights Movement. If you are looking for ways to expand your lessons on this time period and want to be inclusive of all the students in your classroom, look into her story!
