INQUIRY CENTER #1A –  Research

Working individually, students will begin their research. Students should use the Civil Rights Elements Research Guide to help organize their research and sources. Using the information gathered through the research, each group of three will create a collage of a specific part of the Civil Rights Movement together. Students may also create an album cover with five songs that define the Civil Rights Movement. Each student will individually create their own children’s book. Each student will use books from the media center, their textbook, and the Internet to help with their research on their assigned events and leaders in the Civil Rights Movement.

Students should decide synthesize their notes and brainstorm ideas for how they would like to design their collage.

Gifted:  Students will create a collage on what they have learned. Using the web site, Glogster EDU or Microsoft Publisher, the students will create a digital collage poster that features key images and words that will help explain their American Civil Rights Journey Collage. Students will also provide a handout summary of why each picture or word is featured in the collage. *Teachers will have to register the class ahead of time and create accounts for each student in Glogster EDU.
