Alabama Social Studies SS24.HS.1

SS24.HS.1 is a cluster heading. These are the individual standards under it.

• SS24.HS.1a

  Identify and explain examples of how the historical subject is currently represented.

• SS24.HS.1b

  Explain factors that have influenced or shaped how the historical subject is viewed in modern day.

01

What Students Need to Do

Students compare how the Montgomery bus boycott is shown in places people see today, such as statues and museum timelines. They explain how those choices shape what people think about protest.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student can show how a statue centers Rosa Parks while a timeline also shows the work of boycott organizers. They can explain why a memorial might focus on one person and how that focus can hide group effort.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may think Rosa Parks acted on impulse or that one refusal ended bus segregation. They may treat a memorial as the whole story rather than a choice about what to show.

04

How to Assess It

Show a photo of the U.S. Capitol Rosa Parks statue and a short boycott timeline. Ask students to name one difference, a possible reason for it, and how it might shape someone's view of protest.

1. 01

   Give pairs a photo of the U.S. Capitol Rosa Parks statue and a printed boycott timeline; have them circle named people and actions.

2. 02

   Ask: How might a statue centered on Rosa Parks shape what people think makes a protest succeed?

3. 03

   Play caption swap: teams add boycott carpools to a Rosa Parks statue label, then compare how the message changes.

4. 04

   Read a Montgomery tourism page about the boycott and write one sentence about the view of protest it gives visitors.

• SS24.HS.3

  Explain how historic preservation has been or can be used to impact historical memory of the subject.

• SS24.HS.2c

  Apply the concept of historiography through contrasting how various historians have interpreted the historical subject.
