Double Entry Journal #13

I chose to do my web quest on The American Civil Rights Movement because I feel that this a period in our histroy that we do not study enough. It is taught to our students but not as a huge focus. We all know who Martin Luther King Jr is and Rosa Parks, but do we know about Emmett Till, Medger Evers, or the three young men killed during Freedom Summer. I chose this to help bring these people and the whole movement to the eyes and minds of a new generation who may see this as ancient history. The video "Seperate But Not Equal" was chosen because it introduces the Civil Rights in a way that is visual and intersting. It shows people, places and events that started the movement and as a way to get the students started on the topic.
