Women of the Civil Rights Movement

Following completion of PowerPoint activity and selected readings, students will identify at
least 20 key women of the modern civil rights movement in an online quiz and reflect, in a blog
post, on personal connection with at least one woman from the movement.
Following completion of recorded lecture and selected readings, students will be able to
identify, through discussion post and response to classmates posts, the reasons why the role
of women is not evident in our traditional teaching about the movement.
Following experiential trip, nightly discussion, and image exercise, students will be able to
articulate the toll the absence of teaching about the role of women takes on our society by
completing an image upload and reflective post to the class blog.
Following selected readings, lecture, trip, and discussion, students will be able to identity the
social change mechanisms employed by women of the movement to make change then and
make critical connections to uses for these mechanisms today in a paper that will be uploaded
to the dropbox.
Select an image from our trip that illustrates the absence of these women retelling of history.
Reflect on what you learned about the presence of women. Reflect on why they were not
included in your own learning in k-12
Review PowerPoint of women from the movement. Select one woman with whom you
connected. Reflect on their story.
Select an image that illustrates toll the absence of teaching about the role of women takes on
our society. Using Voice Thread, share your thinking about at least three issues that arise from
this absence.
