Anthology comprehension skill

In Anthology, students role-played "scenes" from the story and then placed them into a cause/ effect table.  These were the scenes:
Jamal gets a note from the principal.
Jamal is afraid he is in trouble and tries to sneak quietly into his house.
Jamal tells Grandpa Joe about the fight.
Grandpa Joe gets angry at Jamal.
Jamal apologizes to Grandpa Joe for fighting.
Grandpa Joe tells Jamal about Rosa Parks.
She wouldn’t give up her seat at the front of the bus.
Rosa Parks got arrested.
African Americans heard about Rosa Parks’s arrest.
African Americans boycotted the buses.
Dr. King headed the bus boycott and became a great civil rights leader.
Dr. King’s birthday is honored and celebrated with a national holiday.
Dad explains to Jamal that Dr. King worked in peaceful ways.
Jamal has an idea to put on a skit about solving problems peacefully.
