Kids, I have great news! It turns out that Eyes on the Prize is now on YouTube, so if you are/were absent, you can catch up by not only getting a classmates notes, but also going back and watching the portions you missed. Yippee! There is also a very handy guide to the key events discussed that I will provide the link for below on the PBS website that will help you to catch up, or go back and clarify.

• Eyes on the Prize: The Story of the Movement (thus far we have covered events 1-3!)
• YouTube: Eyes on the Prize, Episode 1: Awakenings (we watched the section on the Murder of Emmett Till, but not the portions on the Montgomery Bus Boycott)
• YouTube: Eyes on the Prize, Episode 2: Fighting Back (we watched this whole episode on the topic of school desegregation)

Today in Class: We began discussing the next stage of the CRM, and you all got a reading titled, "Ain't Scared of Your Jails (1960-1961)." While everyone had the same first page, there were 5 different documents handed out that were everyone's second page of the packet. You got into groups to discuss and take notes on the following for each source:

• Origin
• Purpose
• Message (summing up and choosing key excerpts from the source to share)

Tomorrow, your group will be expected to report to the class on your document! If you finished in class you do not have homework, but if you did not finish, do so for homework.
