8、kend,they watched as their fund-raiser link was shared,and shared,and shared again throughout their town.On Monday morning before the start of school,Elias and Ada raced into the principals office with some news.The owner of a local sporting goods store had called Elias personally to offer sponsorsh

9、ip of the schools P.E.program for the next five years.Ms.King sat back in her chair and looked from one to the other.“Well done,you two,”she said quietly.Elias and Ada grinned at each other and exchanged a high-five.Ms.King stood up and shook their hands.“Ill be in touch with Mr.Pope over at the spo

10、rting goods store,”she told them.“Meanwhile,I just heard the bell for recess.Dont you two have a game of chess to catch up on?”The Recess Revolt Level U153Elias stormed into social studies class,complaining to his friend Ada about the new school recess policy.“Its totally ridiculous,”he griped.“Isnt

11、 recess supposed to be about free time and having fun?”“All right now,settle down,”Mr.Sterling called from the front of the room.“I know its only the first day,but we already have a lot to do.”Elias sank into his chair,still seething.He had spent the whole summer looking forward to a chess rematch w

12、ith Ada during recess since hed been away all summer.But when they arrived on the playground,theyd been confronted with a new set of recess rules.Instead of playing on their own,students now had to participate in a set of activities run by the teachers.Elias and Ada had been immediately sent over to

13、 the soccer field with no chance to argueand no chance to do what they wanted,which was to play chess.The Recess Revolt Level U14“I think so,”said Ms.King slowly,“but thats a very tall order.You wont raise the money for a P.E.program with just a bake sale or a car wash,for example.”“We need to reach

14、 more people,”said Elias.“Wait a second!I just saw something the other day that might work for us.It was an app you can use to raise money for a cause online.We can set a funding goal,and people can contribute whatever they want from their phones or computers.”“We can certainly try it,”Ms.King said.

15、For the rest of that week,Elias and Ada worked with Ms.King to set up a fund-raiser online.They worked especially hard on the wording of their funding appeal,trying to make it as persuasive as possible.On Friday,the fund-raiser went up,and Ms.King personally shared it on the schools social media pag

16、es.Elias and Ada posted links,too,and asked their parents and friends to share it widely.Then they sat back to wait and hope.4Its so unfair,Elias thought.“All right,class,”said Mr.Sterling briskly.“Were starting with the civil rights movement of the 1960s.What do you already know about it?”“Rosa Par

17、ks,”someone said.“Peaceful protests,”another student called out.“Right,”said Mr.Sterling.“The civil rights movement was noted for using tactics of nonviolent civil disobedience.In general,that means that the civil rights protesters resisted unfair laws,but they did it in peaceful ways,refusing to ge

18、t into fights or hurt anyone.This week,were going to look at three different nonviolent tactics used by civil rights protesters in the 1960s:marches,boycotts,and sit-ins.”As the class settled in to take notes,Elias raised his hand.13“Youve explained your position well,”she said.“Now let me explain m

19、ine.The school had some severe budget cuts this year,and we had to cut P.E.as well as art and music.We didnt want to cut any of them,you understand,but we had no choice.Meanwhile,the law says that elementary school students must get thirty minutes of physical activity every day.I thought that the on

20、ly way for us to do that was to get everyone playing sports during recess periods.But I can see that this is not working for everyone and that the student body is unhappy.So well need to think together about what we can do to find a new solution.”Elias and Ada thought about it.“What if we could rais

21、e the money to bring P.E.back?”asked Ada suddenly.“Could we have our free time at recess back if we had a regular P.E.class again?”The Recess Revolt Level U5“Whats a sit-in?”he asked.“Sit-ins started in restaurants,which were often open only to white customers,”answered Mr.Sterling.“So African Ameri

22、cans would go to a whites-only restaurant and order food.When they were refused,theyd simply sit and wait to be served.Sometimes people would yell at them,or throw food,or threaten them,but they just sat quietly.”“Did it work?”asked Elias,fascinated.“It worked brilliantly,”Mr.Sterling said.“The rest

23、aurants couldnt make money with protesters sitting at their counters.Meanwhile,the whole country was watching the protesters peaceful tactics.Gradually,the system of racial segregation in public spaces began to fall apart.”The class discussed the boycotts,marches,and rallies that the civil rights pr

24、otesters organized in the 1960s.Elias followed everything intently as a strategy formed in his mind.When class ended,he turned to Ada.“Ive got an idea about how we might get our free time back,”he said.“Meet me on the soccer field at recess tomorrow.”The Recess Revolt Level U12The next day,they bega

25、n to circulate their petition at every opportunityat lunch,in the halls,and at recess itself.Elias and Ada rapidly found that once the kids understood what was in the petition,most were eager to sign.It seemed as though everyone was fed up.“First music class got canceled,then art class,and now there

26、s this recess stuff,”another fifth grader told Ada disgustedly.“Its like we never get to do anything fun at school anymore.”By the end of the second day,they had over two hundred signatures.Elias and Ada marched into Ms.Kings office and laid the paper down on her desk with a flourish.Ms.King examine

27、d the petition and looked up at them.6The next day,Ada joined Elias on the soccer field,and he told her about his plan.“Were going to sit down right in the middle of the soccer field,”he said.Ada looked at him as though she thought he was crazy.“Its a sit-in,”Elias explained,“like we learned about i

28、n class yesterday.Were going to sit here quietly and refuse to play to protest the new recess rules.”Ada still looked doubtful.“Do you really think that will work?”she asked.“I think its worth a try,”Elias said.“It worked for the civil rights protesters,so why not us?”“But wont we get in trouble?”Ad

29、a asked.Elias shrugged.“Probably,”he said,“but thats the point:I want the teachers and the principal to notice us.We wont get expelled or anything;were not hurting anybody.”11“I dont know,”Elias admitted.Ms.King nodded.“I think we need more information,”she told them.“I want you to write a letter ex

30、plaining your position,and I want to see how many of your fellow students are willing to sign it.You have three days to bring me your petition.We have about four hundred students in this school.If you can get more than two hundred signatures,Ill work with you and the student body to consider some al

31、ternatives.Meanwhile,no more sit-ins.Do we have a deal?”Elias and Ada nodded.That night after school,Ada and Elias worked on their petition.In their letter,they argued for a return of free time at recess so students could spend their time developing skills that interested them instead of playing pre

32、arranged games that only a few people really liked.The Recess Revolt Level U7Ada hesitated but sat down next to him.At first,nothing much happened.They could see a couple of kids pointing at them,but that was all.Then Ms.Fremont,the teacher organizing the soccer game,jogged up to them.“Ada and Elias

33、,what are you doing here?I need you over on this team,please,”she said.They glanced at each other nervously but didnt move.“Whats the matter,you two?”she asked.“Dont you want to play today?”They shook their heads silently.Ms.Fremont looked at them for a moment.A couple of other kids approached,tryin

34、g to see what was holding up the game.“Well.you can take a break today,”Ms.Fremont decided,“but obviously you cant do it here.I need you to move to the sidelines so you dont get injured.And Im going to need you back in the game tomorrow,okay?”Reluctantly,Elias and Ada rose and shuffled off the field

35、.“Walk really slowly,”Elias whispered to Ada.“We want people to notice what were doing.These protests only work if a bunch of people get involved.”The Recess Revolt Level U10The principal,Ms.King,looked from Elias to Ada and back again.“Explain this to me,please,”she ordered.Elias explained how much

36、 hed been looking forward to playing chess with Ada at recess this year.He explained how much he hated playing soccer and how angry he was that there was no free time at recess anymore.He explained how hed gotten the idea for a sit-in in social studies class.When he finished,there was a long silence

37、.“All right,you twoI understand why youre unhappy,”Ms.King said finally.“But what about all the kids who like playing soccer?What do they think about the new recess rules?”8His strategy worked.As kids subbed in and out of play,several of them asked Elias and Ada why they had been acting so oddly at

38、the beginning of the game.When Elias explained,peoples faces lit up;clearly,many other kids were unhappy with the new policy,too.By the end of the recess period,several more students had joined them on the sidelines,watching the game quietly.When the whistle blew,they all stood and returned to class

39、.All that day,word of Eliass protest spread throughout the school.Kids kept approaching him in the halls during class breaks and passing him notes.By the end of the day,his throat felt like sandpaper from all the talking hed been doing.He gave everyone the same message:“If you want to protest the ne

40、w rules,meet us on the soccer field tomorrow at recess.”9The following day,a group of thirty kids waited for Elias on the soccer field.Elias was stunnedhed never thought that so many kids would respond.He looked around,cleared his throat,and pitched his voice to carry over the crowd.“All right,every

41、body,”he called,“lets try this again.Well sit in the middle of the field and disrupt play.Theyre not going to be able to continue the game with all of us sitting there,and were not moving to the sidelines today.”As the students poured onto the field and began sitting down,the teacher came running ov

42、er.“What is this again?”she asked sharply.Elias spoke up.“Were staging a nonviolent protest,Ms.Fremont,”he said.“We want our free time at recess back.”Ms.Fremont pursed her lips,then ordered everyone to get up.The students sat quietly and looked back at her.“Whose idea was this?”Ms.Fremont asked.Elias and Ada raised their hands.Ms.Fremont shook her head and said,“I think its time for a visit to the principals office.”The Recess Revolt Level U
