Use Granddaddy's Turn and Seeds of Freedom to teach students about the civil rights movement in the United States. These picture books share stories of ordinary people overcoming the constraints of racism that were particularly prevalent in the South during the 1960s. This teaching guide is aligned with Common Core State Standards for grades 3-5. Resources includes language arts activities for before and after reading, book discussion questions, and vocabulary instruction.
