This lesson tells the story of Emmett Till, but focuses on the courage of his mother (Mamie Till-Mobley) rather than the victimhood of Emmett (as suggested in Teaching History and also following some student feedback).
Students will leave the lesson with a good understanding of the story and having had a chance to write an extended answer. Criteria for a self assessment activity has also been included.
You can use this content in 1 lesson, but it is better over 2 lessons. It works well with an additional reading text, but this is not necessary. The teacher needs to be able to explain the basics of the story of Emmett’s murder at slide 5 or 6.
Slide 13 is a handout / activity for all students, but is specifically designed to help SEND students. The plenary works best as a stretch for a higher ability class so you may want to simplify it if you think it is too deep for your group.
