Facilitation Note: Complete the Perseverance Graphic Organizer on chart 

paper or whiteboard by having students discuss in small groups and then 

share evidence for each section from what they know and understand 

about Angela James. Remind them to refer to the Black Canadian Women 

Contributor Poster and Information Sheet for Angela James for support. The 

focus should be on specific evidence from her life to support the Character 

trait of Perseverance.

CONSOLIDATING THINKING TO BUILD NEW KNOWLEDGE

Teacher Talk: It is now your opportunity to share evidence of Perseverance 

of the woman contributor you have completed your rapid research on. 

Continue to work collaboratively with your expert group as you work on your 

graphic organizer. 

Independent Practice: Support students as necessary as they complete the 

Perseverance Graphic Organizer. Remind them to use the Angela James 

model, the Black Canadian Women Contributors Poster and Information 

Sheet along with their discussions and other notes to complete the graphic 

organizer. 

CONSOLIDATING THE LEARNING EXPERIENCE

Ticket Out the Door: During our next lesson, we will be sharing your woman 

contributor to a small group. Take some time now to consider one fact that 

you would want someone who does not know anything about your woman 

contributor to know about and how that fact is evidence of Perseverance 

or another Character trait. Write it on the Ticket Out the Door and hand it in 

once you are done.

Lesson Note: Use the Ticket Out the Door responses to determine if students 

need more time, lessons or instructions to consolidate their learning and 

meet the Learning Goals and Success Criteria.
