Today's document from the National Archives is a sketch of where Rosa Parks was seated on the day she refused to give-up her seat. Along with the sketch, the National Archives has posted a lesson plan using the sketch. The National Archives also posted lesson plans about Jackie Robinson and the Civil Rights Movement.
Learning to Give has a lesson plan about Rosa Parks that is appropriate for elementary school use.
Teaching Tolerance has lesson plans about Rosa Parks that are appropriate for middle school and high school students.
History.com has an interactive timeline of the Civil Rights Movement. In that timeline is a good section about Rosa Parks and the bus boycott.
Here is a short clip of an interview with Rosa Parks.

I saw this article in the New York Times yesterday about the woman who refused to move nine months before Rosa Parks. Her story is incredible. If a classroom is conducive to provocative questions, her story may provide an interesting dialogue point around the role of the messenger in how a public perceives a message.

Jennifer, that is really good...I know there are many different places to view information on this topic out there, but this is a new one. Thanks for sharing. Also Richard, thanks for sharing on all of the lesson plans that are available out there that many teachers probably forget about or don't teach the topic in detail.
