A lesson that guides students through the process of researching, planning and then writing an answer to the question: To what extent was the March on Washington 1963 the most significant event in the struggle for Civil Rights between 55 and 64? Ideal for students about to complete GCSE coursework, A Level or IB written essays. The lesson looks like this: Students look at an overview timeline of Civil Rights between this time period and gain a respect for the changes made during that time. Students select 3-4 events to study in greater detail and to weigh against the importance of the March on Washington 1963. Resources and links are provided for the study of the Montgomery Bus Boycott, the Birmingham Campaign, the Birmingham Baptist Church Bombings and then the March on Washington itself. Students test their knowledge with an online quiz. Students plan their response using a planning guide and a PEEKA paragraph template with sentence starters to support students that require it. The class then study 5 real student examples, from both the introduction, development and conclusion stages. They assess what is good about them, what techniques they can see and offer suggestions for improvement. Students then begin to write the assessment. Students peer assess their partners work using the original essay plan to check off that they have included each element and to find examples of each.
