Ruth Bader Ginsburg Worksheets: Nonfiction Text Unit Activities
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.
A 10-page (half-sheet) mini-book comprised of nonfiction information, interesting facts, and reflection questions (please see preview) 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 the following:
- 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 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 asked to read it independently. Likewise, a 6th grader may find that text to be easy.
NOTE: THIS FILE INCLUDES A DIGITAL DISTANCE LEARNING OPTION!
This product includes a digital option (as well as the no prep printable option). The instructions for utilizing the digital portion appear at the end of the packet.
This PDF file contains 42 pages + Google Slides™.

My students and I used this as a resource in preparing a slideshow introduction to a showing of the documentary RBG to the rest of the school. It’s a great quick reference to the life and work of Justice Ginsberg. Clear, accessible and interesting.

I was really glad to see that you updated this resource so quickly after RBG passed on. Thank you for also making it digitally accessible for my distance learners. I love that I didn’t need any books to accompany this because they are on back order on Amazon, so I appreciate that my kiddos could use the information from the biography mini book to work on the other activities. I haven’t printed the quotes posters yet but I will be printing them and hanging them in my classroom. Thank you SO much!
