Welcome to the Home Page!

Welcome to the Civil Rights Movement Curriculum Web for social studies. In addition to standard, SS8H11: evaluating the role of Georgia in the modern Civil Rights Movement, participants will revisit several events that transpired nationally during the Civil Rights Movement. Prior to beginning any activities in the curriculum web, students should be directed to read chapter 20 in the text, the Georgia Studies Book: Our State and the Nation.  This chapter provides a good introduction of some of the key events of the Civil Rights Movement.

By visiting this site and some of the suggested linked sites, you will find many important events that helped shape our history during the Civil Rights Movement era. The navigation menu above can be viewed from most pages within this site; however, the activites can only be accessed from the home page. Each of the above icons have information for you to view in this site as well as many linked external sites; however, you will only need to complete a total of 5 assignments to be submitted electronically to your instructor by email. That assignment will be the last listed in each activity.

You should complete the activities in order, but it is not a requirement. Your grade will be scored by using the rubric and your participation as well. This concept map will provide you with a brief description of each activity.
