We will be watching the entirety of the PBS series, Eyes on the Prize: America's Civil Rights Years 1954-1965 (PBS has re-released the series, going all the way up through the 1980's but you are gonna have to catch that on your local station).
On the blog, I'll keep you updated as to where we are in the series, and if you are absent, what you need to do is follow the links to the Eyes on the Prize website, which will take you to the module on the events you have missed. You will need to take notes, and watch the video clips available at this site to get yourself up to speed. I would also strongly recommend getting notes from a responsible class-mate.
You will notice less homework this unit, but also a stronger burden to gain an understanding of events through video and class discussion--this is where a majority of the info will be coming from. You will still do chapter section homework, but it is simply the framework for a story we will be going in to much more in depth.
B Period:
So far we have covered-
- Brown v. Board of Education, 1954 (for link to this reading see posts from last week)
- The Murder of Emmett Till, 1955 (follow this link if you've been absent)
- Montgomery Bus Boycott, December 1955-December 1956 (follow this link if you were absent)
E Period:

Due to Guidance stealing you last week, we are just getting started with the Civil Rights Movement, and discussing the beginnings of the Movement with the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education ruling.
No new homework tonight.
