The Civil Rights Movement was a complex period in our history. It started before the 1960’s, a period we associate with Martin Luther King Jr. The Civil Rights Movement went beyond the Rosa Parks and the Montgomery Bus Boycott. It began in the days of reconstruction and involved a number of important figures. The goal of this webquest is to explore the variety of people and events which contributed to the fight for equality in the United States.

Introduction (Teacher)

This WebQuest was designed by a university student for an Education 381 class at Colorado State University.

This lesson is about the Civil Rights Movement. The object of the lesson is to take a further look at this movement, one that goes beyond Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks. Although these figures were very influential in the movement, there was so many other important figures, places and events that contributed to its significance.

Learners (Teacher)

The audience in mind when this lesson was created was 11th grade U.S. History students. But by modifying the brochure and journal expectations, this webquest could also work for junior high U.S. History students.

The only pre-requisite for this lesson would be a brief understanding of the history of slavery and racism in America. Previous knowledge about the Movement would be helpful but not critical.

The only outside resource needed is access to computers, the internet and a printer (for the brochure). The links given to websites open to websites which provide names, places and events for the students. One teacher is enough to implement this lesson.

Conclusion

Teacher Script (Teacher)

The introduction gives a brief background of the Civil Rights Movement, but giving the students a personal connection (how it has affected them) would make the process even more effective. Plan on spending about 5 minutes introducing this.

The task should be clearly explained to the students, but make sure to emphasize both tasks (brochure and journal). The journal offers them a way to make a personal connection to this information, so specify your expectations.

The process given to the students, but make sure they understand that the websites provided open up to pages with more links. They need to navigate those and find the names/events that apply to their choices of people/events. The resources are found on the process continued page, to get to that page they need to click on the link at the bottom of the process page.

This lesson allows students to gain a better understanding of the complexity of the Civil Rights Movement. Too often it gets summed up as Martin Luther King Jr. and the Montgomery Bus Boycott, this allows to further explore this important movement.
