Civil Rights Movement : Education

This Civil Rights Movement lesson investigates how Jim Crow education laws were changed by the Brown v Topeka case, Little Rock and James Meredith. Each case study is examined and an account is written at the end to show how the cases link together.

This download includes a fully editable powerpoint with all activities, instructions, clip links and worksheets/information sheets you need. It is differentiated 2/3 ways where possible with scaffolding and challenge options and is fully planned with plenty of activities for your students to complete including a starter, clip questions/activities, song analysis, mini plenaries, groupwork information sheets with table to complete, case studies, a consolidation written question and thinking plenary questions about what happened to our case study people (students always like the personal touch!).

Activities are planned to encourage thinking and discussion.
