The teacher plans to have students research the life of Maritcha Remond Lyons by splitting them into 5 differentiated groups. Each group will focus on a different aspect of her life - such as her childhood, education, struggles, adult life and accomplishments. Students will use the book and photographs to make observations and inferences about what life was like for Maritcha in the 19th century. The groups will then present what they learned to the whole class. For homework, students will compare Maritcha's life to their own.
