American Civil RIghts

This lesson sets out to ask the question if Abraham Lincoln was the ‘Great Emancipator’ that history claims him to be.

By analysing his statue at the Washington memorial and using video evidence as well as a brief summary of the 13th Amendment and the American Civil War, students are given evidence (which is differentiated according to ability) from which they question this belief.

Their ideas are then presented on a Venn diagram and presented to their peers.

A true or false quiz at the end will attempt to consolidate their learning as well as questioning how emancipated the slaves were after the amendment became law.

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)
