Civil Rights Webquest 2009

This is an inquiry lesson examining different areas, people, strategies and accomplishments of the Civil Rights movements in the late 1950's and early 1960's. Please remember while Rosa Parks, Little Rock, Malcolm X and MLK Jr. are important there are other people and events to learn about.


AP question: To what extent did the demonstrations, sit-ins, protests and music really change anything? How much have things changed for whom?

Essential question: To what extent was the Civil rights movement successful in achieving their rights as guaranteed under the fourteenth amendment?


Process: Some questions to keep in mind, but you are not limited to.

1. Where and what happened in the event?

2. Who were the people involved in the protest and what was their role? I.E. there point of view!! THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART!!

3. What act of segregation were they fighting against?

4. How did the authorities respond?

5. What happened as a result of this event, did laws change etc…?


Final Product: Not today or tomorrow
Ultimately we will look for other “heros and villains” of the Civil Rights Movements, today we will primarily focus on Modern “Black” Civil Rights movement. Over the course of the next week we will be examining the other movements as well as we conclude this unit!!

As a reporter investigating the Civil Rights movement, take notes for your new program. Eventually I would love to have one of you interview each other for a news segment! I will film it and we will watch it later, before or definitely after the May test.
