A great way to engage your students is by creating a storyboard that uses vocabulary from The Story of Ruby Bridges.
In this activity, students demonstrate their understanding of vocabulary words using sentences and corresponding images. Students may be provided the vocabulary words, or they can use words that they have discovered through their reading of the text. The sentences and images validate both their understanding of the word and how it was used in context of the story.
Here is a list of a few vocabulary words commonly taught with the story and an example of a visual vocabulary board.
