American Civil RIghts

This lesson analyses and evaluates the part Rosa Parks played in the Civil Rights Movement.

Modest to the end, her one action inspired a generation and she is still talked about with reverence in American society today. (NB - Oprah Winfrey’s Golden Globe speech on 7th January, 2018.)

Students learn about Rosa Park’s background and events leading up to her refusal to move seats on a bus, brilliantly shown through some video footage as well as documentary evidence.

The learning tasks and the accompanying resources are differentiated to suit all abilities as students reflect and evaluate her most important significance to American society today.

Students also have the opportunity to use a bus to show in the windows the problems she faced (at the front and in the doorway) and what she achieved (in the back windows).

The lesson is enquiry based with a key question using a lightbulb posed at the start of the lesson and revisited to show the progress of learning.

The resource includes suggested teaching strategies, differentiated materials and comes in Powerpoint format if there is a wish to adapt and change.

Civil Rights in America Bundle

I have created a set of resources for ‘the challenges for Britain, Europe and the wider world 1901 to the present day’ which focus on Civil Rights in America. The aims of this bundle are to understand how black people were treated in the USA in the Twentieth Century and how they began to fight for their civil rights. I have created, readapted and used these lessons to challenge and engage students, but also to show how much fun learning about this part of history really is. Students will learn and understand key historical skills throughout such as the continuity and change in the rights of black people in the USA, the causes consequences of the Civil Rights movement which followed, the similarities and differences of the tactics used, the significance of key figures such as Abraham Lincoln, Jesse Owens, Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King and Malcolm X and various interpretations about how far black people have achieved equality today. Each lesson comes with retrieval practice activities, suggested teaching and learning strategies and are linked to the latest historical interpretations and debate from the BBC and other sources. The lessons are fully adaptable and can be changed to suit. The lessons are as follows: L1 Abraham Lincoln L2 Jim Crow Laws L3 Little Rock Nine L4 Emmett Till L5 Rosa Parks L6 Protesting L7 Martin Luther King L8 Malcolm X L9 Ku Klux Klan L10 Jesse Owens L10 Civil Rights in America today L12 Black people in the American Civil War (bonus lesson)
