Project Mixbook: The Civil Right Movement

Mixbook is a free program that will allow your students to create and author their first digital publication. Please check out this example: http://goo.gl/87x8d3

Giving your students an opportunity to become an author is a fun and engaging way for students to demonstrate their learning. This learning template can be used with any subject. lt emphasizes learning in the 21st century via content and creativity. It is pre-loaded with content that explores the Civil Rights Movement in U.S. History but you can easily edit in any content to suit your needs. The activity guides your students by taking a simple three part approach: research, practice, and create. I have included everything you will need to coach your students through the process: specific instructions, examples, video tutorial, and a rubric. It even includes an element that addresses fair use and citations.

This activity has been aligned to ISTE standards.
