Target(s)/Objectives: understand what is being presented to them. How they know about his life.

• The audience consists of children with special needs, gifted and edd, and
children who are struggling, as well as those who are advanced. What kind
of information do they know about the timeline.

• I would use different assessments to see where they are developing and
not. • I will ask them questions to see their development; They will know a
lot about his life, so they make a timeline on his life.

Academic Language I will teach the students about freedom and how they became free, how he
demonstrated peace to others, how justice was served, and how equality
and civil rights were demonstrated at the time. How the white community
handled Him.
