TRANSCRIPT
We’ve included the following suggested weekly lesson sequence for your convenience.
Monday
Start your week by watching The Character Tree video. • Before watching: If you have time for a quick discussion, you could
ask your students what they think they already know about the character trait of bravery and have them share with a partner or call on a couple students to share with the whole class.
• After watching: If you have time after the video, have students share examples of bravery from the video. To extend their concept of bravery you could ask them to think of a specific way that they could show this trait in the coming day or week.
Tuesday
Follow up the video with the foldable book. Read as a whole class, or have students read independently. These books would make a nice home-school connection, or add them to student’s book boxes or bags and keep them at school. Depending on how much time you have, the cut and paste comprehension page would be a good fit as a subsequent activity.
Wednesday
Use our template to create a class book that showcases ways each child has seen and experienced bravery in their own life. After each student has completed their page, assemble the book and read it to the class. Adding the completed book to your classroom library, or other shared space in your classroom, would be a great way to encourage your students to revisit and read the book on their own.
ThursdayAfter spending time learning and talking about bravery and Ruby Bridges during the first half of the week, today would be a good day to check student understanding with our comprehension questions.
FridayIf there is anything that you didn’t get to earlier in the week, finish that up today. Otherwise, today would be a good day for the making words activity and the word search.
Learning Objective: Students will be able to define the character trait of bravery, give an example and write about it.
Common Core Standards: • SL.1.2 Discuss key details in a video• RI.1.2 Identify the main topic• RI.1.3 Describe the connection between a person and concept• RI.1.4 Determine the meaning of vocabulary
Picture Book Recommendations: These picture books would be great to read to your class during this week, as well as throughout the year! Use them to open up further discussions with your class about this week’s character trait.
• Ruby Bridges by Simone T. Ribke
• The Story of Ruby Bridges by Robert Coles

Name:
The white parents were so upset by
Ruby coming to school that they
didn’t send their children. Ruby was in
a class all by herself with just her
teacher, Mrs. Henry. It was very
lonely, but Ruby stayed brave and
never missed a day of school.
Eventually, the other children came
to school and Ruby learned and played
with both black and white children.©The Primary Pal & The Character Treewww.charactertree.com
When Ruby Bridges was a little girl all
of the schools where she lived were
segregated. That means black
children and white children weren’t
allowed to go to school together.
These rules were unfair and they
were finally changed. When Ruby was
in first grade she went to a new
school and was the first black child
to attend there. ©The Primary Pal & The Character Tree
Some of the white parents at
Ruby’s school didn’t want their
children to go to school with Ruby.
They stood in front of the school
with mean signs and shouted at her.
Ruby had federal marshals come
with her to protect her and keep her
safe. Ruby was never mean back. She
may have been scared, but she
showed bravery. www.charactertree.com
