We continued on in our quest to learn all about the Civil Rights Movement Today!
Remember that for this unit, I will be collecting notebooks on the day of the test, and giving credit for all notes and in-class writing assignments. Here's what you should have thus far:
- Civil Rights Movement Brainstorm (How can you define the CRM? What people, places, events, ideas, etc... come to mind when you think of the CRM?)
- Notes on the Murder of Emmett Till
- Writing Response: Why do you think the murder of Emmett Till is considered significant to the CRM?
- What factors led to the success of the Montgomery Bus Boycott?
- Notes on School Integration (The Autherine Lucy Case 1956, Integration of Little Rock Central High School 1957-1959, James Meredith Integrates Ole Miss 1962)
No homework tonight. If you were absent, make sure to get notes from a reliable classmate ASAP. I will also scan the chapters from the "Eyes on the Prize" book that accompany the portions of the documentary series we've watched thus far.
