Target Timeline

1) Took a survey around our own beliefs about race, racism & current issues relating to race

2) We wrote an on-demand writing about “The Story of Civil Rights” to bring out our background knowledge

3) We looked at school race demographics today in our area

4) We looked at different areas in the US as case studies on segregation around the country

5) We worked on studying Dr. Beverly Tatum’s definition of racism, compared to our own understandings of it

6) Looked at defining what exactly CIVIL RIGHTS are

7) We watched a film from the 1960s about the “Southern Way of Life” and had a look at what types of attitudes people had about African-Americans during that period.

8) We listened to an NPR podcast about REDLINING and how the government forcibly segregated white and black people by determining where they should live.

9) Watched “A Time for Justice” documentary which gave an overview of the major actions of the Civil Rights movement

10)                   We looked a series of documents to help build up our understanding of the Voting Rights Act of 1965

11)                   We then used all of this information to write a letter to a prospective voter, encouraging them to register and vote

12)                   Mr. Galanis’ student teacher Shyanne, helped us look into the role of music and protest songs during the Civil Rights Era and also today

13)                   At this point we started a biographical research project – looking into key individuals who had a major impact during the Civil Rights Movement

14)                   We then looked into the Black Lives Matter movement. We watched a couple of short video clips and then investigated how left-leaning, and right-leaning news sources depicted and wrote about the movement, looking at bias, and talking about what implications that can have on the consumers of news media.

15)                   Next we watched two different documentaries about the Black Panther Party, and why some people remember them in a criminal light, while other celebrate their legacy today.

16)                   During this time a lot of our days were devoted to doing our research and responding to the research questions.

17)                   We then used a video interview with James Baldwin from 1963 to help us bring everything together and reflect back on the different ideologies and leaders during the Civil Rights movement, as well as coming back to the core ideas of America facing it’s racist past and doing something to address the injustice laid upon African-Americans.

CP Assignment is HERE PLEASE NOTE: While the sheet says your product should be 1/2 of a page, this is a mistake (I had a similar assignment last year). The end product should, and must, be 4 separate, solid paragraphs - one for each of the question sets given. Each will need to be fairly substantial in order to cover all of the ground of the questions given.

Honors Assignment is HERE

These were the probing questions on the handout from our library work days, organized under the original questions

a. What, specifically, were they MOST known for during the Civil Rights era? (other ways this question could be asked: What were their biggest accomplishments? How are they remembered? What was their biggest impact?)
Achievements, Who were they in this movement? Were they successful? How are they remembered? What was there overall impact on the movement as a whole?

Affiliated Groups, Role in the Civil Rights movement, Who did they work or interact with? What groups did they work with or lead?

d. What major Civil Rights Era events were they involved in and in what capacity? Each person will need to submit all notes (3 page minimum, likely more for most of you) and a bibliography page,

  Did they have other civil rights leaders they were close to? That they were in opposition with? What events did they help to organize? What was the outcome of these events? Who agreed with them and who disagreed with them.
