Unit Summary:

The Civil Rights Movement strived for social change in the United States. The goal was to outlaw racial discrimination. The movement characterized by major campaigns of civil resistance, in attempt for equality. In the 1950s and 60s civil disobedience created a climate of hostility between racist southerners, local, state and federal governments. We will examine landmark supreme court decisions, laws, leaders, conflicting ideologies between organizers, civil disobedience the role of the media and how the practice of segregation, embedded racism, and laws created a society that fostered hate, intolerance and violence and resisted change. After the lecture, I will use Quizlet (Flash Cards) it is a good way of familiarizing students with the words used with in the Unit. During the lecture, students will work in groups and answer critical thinking questions. The questions will allow students to explore different interpretations of course material with each. I will have one person be the group speaker and have them explain their answer. Finally, students (groups of 3) will create a PowerPoint on a specific person or event within the topic. It will be a great way of assessing how well students can put into practice the skills they learned with the websercise activity, group discussions, and most importantly it will allow them to demonstrate how well they could incorporate various sources into one project. It will serve as a good review for the exam. The unit exam will be a blend of multiple choice, fill in answers, and short answer questions. I will incorporate some of the CST questions into the exam, to evaluate if I met the CA contend standards successfully.
