| Civil Rights Leaders: Gallery Walk | In this lesson, students will review important leaders and organizations in the African American community during the Civil Rights Movement, how lives changed for African Americans and the impact of civic and political participation for African Americans. |
| Women of the Civil Rights Movement | In this lesson plan, students will analyze key female leaders of the Civil Rights Movement, the things that these women were able to accomplish, the organizations that they served as a part of or partnered with, and the ways that they helped to advance the Civil Rights Movement. |
| Civil Rights Gallery Walk | In this lesson, students will travel to multiple "stations" to learn about significant events and people from the American Civil Rights Movement. |
| Public Policy | In this lesson, students will explain the impact of political parties, interest groups, media and individuals on shaping public policy by researching a topic and creating a shareable with the class. |
| Civic Engagement | In this lesson, students will analyze the impact of civic engagement as a means of preserving or reforming institutions.

Students will identify historical examples of citizens achieving or preventing political and social change through civic engagement. |
| Civic Engagement and Social Institutions: Action and Reaction | In this lesson plan, students analyze the impact of civic engagement as a means of preserving or reforming institutions. This analysis will take place through identifying means and methods to promote social change using historical examples of citizens achieving or preventing political and social change through civic engagement. |
| Reading Like a Historian: Civil Rights Act | In this lesson, students analyze primary source documents in an effort to answer the central historical question: Was JFK a strong supporter of Civil Rights? First, the teacher streams a video clip from Discovery Education on JFK and civil rights. Students form a hypothesis and discuss whether JFK was "strong" on civil rights based on this. Students then read a 1963 JFK speech supporting the Civil Rights Act; as a class, they answer sourcing, close reading and context questions and revisit their hypothesis. Students then read John Lewis's controversial original draft of the speech he delivered at the March on Washington. They answer guiding questions which corroborate both documents and attempt to reach a conclusion. If there is time, the teacher may bookend the lesson with another clip which shows how LBJ signed the eventual law into action. |
| Reading Like a Historian: Montgomery Bus Boycott | In this lesson, students analyze primary source documents in an effort to answer the central historical question: Why did the Montgomery Bus Boycott succeed? The teacher first introduces the boycott and Rosa Parks by streaming a film clip from historicalthinkingmatters.org. Students then break into 3 groups and look at a textbook account of the boycott and a timeline, making a "claim" as to why the boycott succeeded and sharing it with the whole class. The groups then corroborate with 2 more documents-a letter by Jo Ann Robinson and a memo by Bayard Rustin-and make another claim. Finally, 2 more documents-a letter by Virginia Durr and a speech by Martin Luther King, Jr.-are added to the mix, and students formulate and share a final claim. In a final class discussion, students reflect on how their claims did/did not change as they encountered more evidence. |
