Product Description

Ruth Bader Ginsburg Nonfiction Text Unit with Digital Option in Google Slides™:

This Ruth Bader Ginsburg: I Dissent Biography Nonfiction activities file now includes a digital distance learning option in Google Slides™. Please refer to the final 7 pages of the file for the link and instructions. This file has also been updated to reflect Ruth’s passing on 8/18/20.

This nonfiction text biography unit for Ruth Bader Ginsburg goes perfectly with the book, I Dissent: Ruth Bader Ginsburg Makes Her Mark by Debbie Levy and includes various printable activities, graphic organizers, report templates, writing prompts, reflection pages, nonfiction text, as well as posters with Ruth Bader Ginsburg quotes.

There is a 10-page (half-sheet) mini-book comprised of nonfiction information, interesting facts, and reflection questions (please see preview) that is perfect for students to make and read on their own or in literacy stations with a small group. It’s also a great reference or research tool for them as they gather information about Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

This file includes:

• biography mini-book
• graphic organizers
• biography report template
• RBG quotes posters
• reflection questions
• growth mindset connections
• writing a friendly letter
• creating a newspaper article

In addition, this product can be used with ANY picture book or chapter book about Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Some of my favorite books include:

• I Dissent: Ruth Bader Ginsburg Makes Her Mark by Debbie Levy
• Ruth Bader Ginsburg: The Case of R.B.G. vs Inequality by Jonah Winter
• Ruth Bader Ginsburg (Superwomen Role Models) by Heather Moore Niver

Though the intended grade levels are 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade, this product can successfully be modified and used with other grade levels. The biography mini-book reading level is between 3rd-5th grade, so please understand that 2nd grade might struggle with the text if they are asked to read it independently. Likewise, a 6th grader may find that text to be easy.
