Civil Rights
May 13th, 2008
We will be taking groups to tour the National Civil Rights Museum during this weekend’s Professors of Instructional Design and Technology Conference. It’s an awesome museum and I believe everyone should visit it at least once. I’ve been about a half dozen times just in the past two years.
The following video is available at TeacherTube and would be a great way to introduce a unit on the Civil Rights Movement in the USA. I suggest consider combining the video with a journaling activity or reflective exercise (such as a pod/vidcast, presentation, or photo essay).

I think that this would be very useful in the classroom. It is a good introduction video to a topic that students may or may not be familiar with.

Thanks for the link to that video! I think it will be a great way to introduce my Civil Rights unit. I’ve also found some very useful teacher resources at http://www.dedicatedteacher.com for my Civil Rights unit, as well as a ton of other subjects. It has thousands of ebooks that are downloadable and you can preview them in advance, too. Also, I agree completely with you about the National Civil Rights Museum.
