Storyboard Text
- Slide: 1
- TEXT TO TEXT
- No! I will not give up my seat.
- This story reminded me of another story I had read called, Rosa, by Nikki Giovanni. It tells the story of the brave Rosa Parks and how she would not give up her seat on the bus. Both these texts have strong female characters who stand up for what they believe in.
- Slide: 2
- TEXT TO WORLD
- DO WHAT'S RIGHT!
- Higher wages!Better Health Insurance!
- The angry mobs in the story reminded me of a news broadcast where I saw the employees of a grocery store on strike.
- Slide: 3
- TEXT TO SELF
- Eventually Ruby's school was desegregated and she went to school with all different races. This reminds me of my school. There are many races present.
