90% accuracy.

Procedure
Introduce: The teacher asks the students if they would walk many miles to go to school, and then
shows the book to the students. The theme of the book is if you want to achieve something you’ll
do anything to achieve it, even if it means walking thousands of miles to school as young Coretta
Scott did.

showing the students the illustrations.

Activity:

First Activity: Using the Think/pair/share method students will write down on a piece of paper
using a pencil a time they have faced a challenge or were treated unfairly using correct grammar
and spelling and share with their groupmates.

Second Activity: Using Polls, The teacher will record the number of yes and no to the question
about students willing to walk miles to school and then record the number of yes and no again to
see if students will still walk many miles to school after reading the book. Then, compare and
contrast the results.

Assessment:
The teacher will review the student’s response to the time they have faced a challenge or were
treated unfairly and check if the student answered the question using correct grammar and
spelling.
