Activity 3: “I Have a Dream”

Rosa Parks was an African american women who was heading home after a long day. She sat at the front of the bus knowing the racist law, yet believing she didn't need to move because of her skin-color. When the bus driver aggressively approached her to give her seat up to a white man, she refused to move or even get up. The police arrested Rosa, and she was in jail for 24 hours before she was bailed. Rosa Parks fought for civil and human rights. Many remember her story, and look up to her as because she wanted freedom and stood her ground. I think the incident on the bus was just another protest for Rosa and her people.


For this activity, we went back in time to when Rosa Parks refused to fall to a white man, and when racism was very alive. At that time, there were laws to separate black and white people. One of them made colored people sit in the back seats of the bus. That is just how Rosa's story takes place. We learnt and read more about her story, so we could share what happened, what Rosa Parks did, and how others reacted.

Rosa Parks | Interactive Presentation

L.I: To create an interactive post about a peaceful activists.
The past 2 weeks for inquiry we have been working on creating an interactive presentation. My partner was Florence, and we chose to make our D.L.O on Rosa Parks. There were specific things we needed to include, being philosophy, biography and LS1 philosophy application. We did this on a google presentation since it was better for what we  were doing. It also had to be interactive somehow so we can then present it in front of the class. Our script had to be different from what was on the real D.L.O so we wrote what we were going to say in the speaker notes. To make our presentation interactive, we asked 4 questions about Rosa Parks for the class and viewers to answer.

Rosa Parks | Planning

This week for Inquiry we have been researching activists and working on creating interactive D.L.O's on them. The chosen activists for Florence and I was Rosa Parks. She was an African-american women supporting and fighting for racial rights. We have completed our planning of what needed to be had in our presentation about our activists. This was a lot to complete and would talk around 2 weeks so what is shown is a plan of what will go in our D.L.O. Her story was a big movement and story. In a short description, she was the women who denied moving from her seat in a bus for a white man and was arrested for the issue.
