The Divine Nine. AP RST
Origins, missions, and historical contributions of all nine organizations: Alpha Phi Alpha, Alpha Kappa Alpha, Kappa Alpha Psi, Omega Psi Phi, Delta Sigma Theta, Phi Beta Sigma, Zeta Phi Beta, Sigma Gamma Rho, and Iota Phi Theta.
How have Black fraternal organizations transformed collegiate solidarity into civic, educational, and community action? Scholars compare distinct histories and service mechanisms using history, civics, geography, ELA, mathematics, and scientific investigation practices in a social science context.
Individual educator edition
This purchase includes the 21 page print Student RST, matching 21 page fillable Student RST, matching Teacher Notes and Guide PDF with answer key, and a Digital Reading Companion. Four separate files. No ZIP.
Evidence, analysis, and interdisciplinary rigor
- Sourced readings on all nine organizations, their founding dates and institutions, mission summaries, and documented contributions.
- Phoenician alphabet transmission, Mediterranean connections, and a careful distinction between alphabet ancestry, ancient geography, and modern organizational self descriptions.
- Two supplied locator maps, chronology, median and percentage calculations, and a clearly labeled simulated service study with a measured outcome and controlled comparison.
- Daily Do Nows and Quick Writes, 15 multiple choice items grouped five per page, a 19 point RACE response, and two final writing pages with 42 ruled lines.
- The AP edition, available separately or in the district package, adds source provenance, archival public health investigation, civic causation, alphabet history analysis, data visualization and study critique, resource allocation, seminar, and comparative synthesis.
The simulation is instructional practice data, not an evaluation of any named organization. Mission statements are distinguished from measured outcomes. No private rituals or membership procedures are reproduced.
Digital access and teacher materials
Student PDFs include blank written response fields limited to 1,000 characters each. Digital companions offer Supported, Standard, and Extended organization readings, numbered step reading, full passage view, vocabulary, optional device read aloud with voice and speed selection, and response export. Complete packet text and maps remain available. These are instructional access options, not certified Lexile measures.
Use a compatible PDF reader and modern browser. Save or export responses before closing. Visual graphing and maps may use paper or approved PDF ink tools. Automatic Classroom submission and automatic RACE grading are not included.
NJSLS and national alignment
Grade band literacy pathways, NJSLS Social Studies inquiry practices, mathematical reasoning, and NJSLS and NGSS investigation and data analysis practices. National connections include Common Core literacy and mathematics and C3 source evaluation and historical causation. Science connections concern investigation practices in a social science simulation, not a complete life science performance expectation. AP is an independent supplementary level, without College Board endorsement.
