Segregation in America and Brown V BOE
A lesson on the segregation of American based on race under the ‘Jim Crow’ laws. I use the lesson as an introduction to a scheme of work on the Civil Rights movement. The lesson contains a case study of Brown V The Board of Education to exemplify how the African American community challenged the laws on segregation.
The murder of Emmett Till
An investigative lesson on the murder of Emmett Till and how his death inspired others in the Civil Rights movement. There is a source activity for students to work out what happened in 1955. The slides then go through the murder and aftermath, including the trial and public reaction. The lesson ends on how Till’s death inspired Rosa Parks. There is the option to get students to write a newspaper article surrounding Till. Lesson plan included. My students have always enjoyed this lesson!
How successful was the Montgomery Bus Boycott?
A lesson on the arrest of Rosa Parks and the bus boycott that followed; concluding with whether the boycott should be considered a success or not. The lesson also covers Claudette Colvin who was also arrested for refusing to leave her seat and a discussion on why she wasn’t as famous as Rosa Parks for doing so.

Resilience - assembly or form time activity
An assembly I put together on the importance of resilience. It is based around the film ‘The Swimmers’ on Netflix, which follows two sisters - Yusra and Sara - who fled Syria and still manged to compete at the Rio Olympics. I linked this to my schools values and the importance of never giving up! Helps if you have watched the film but you can easily find the story online too.
Did Martin Luther King Inspire a Movement?
A lesson on how significant Martin Luther King was to the Civil Rights movement. This ties together all parts of the movement for Civil Rights to draw a conclusion on whether it was MLK who deserves the credit or something/someone else. This could be adapted to be an end of unit assessment using historical sources.
