Phase: | Before/Engage |
Activity: | The students will watch the video, PBS-The Children's March, in order to build on others' ideas so that they can express their own ideas clearly and persuasively. In order for this Learning Activity to be successful, there should not be ANY prior discussion of the contents of the PBS-The Children's March video.
The students will say to the parent or adult relative, "It is 1963 and the children are walking out of the schools in Birmingham to march for Civil Rights. Can I go march with the other students from my school?"
|
Assessment Strategies: | The activity can be assessed using classroom participation or by having the students submit their post-discussion reflection. |
Advanced Preparation: |

Variation Tips (optional): | In situations where mobile devices are not allowed, use the activity as an end of class activity and have students go home to ask their parents the questions. The discussion and reflection can be completed during the next class meeting. This activity can be used as a cross-curriculum activity in either U.S. History and English Language Arts.
