We discuss anti-literacy laws and use a TPS teaching strategy, Zoom-In, to closely examine a photograph of Sojourner Truth, while developing our teaching strategies to make meaning with students.

We explore the Civilization Act and equip teachers with practical teaching strategies that support students in developing the academic language of a specific subject or topic.

We examine Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka (1954) and help teachers support students in developing writing skills to use evidence from primary sources to support inferences.
