Civil Rights Slides + Lecture Notes

Without a doubt, history is a topic that can be easily overlooked by our students. Sometimes, it can be difficult for them to make connections with the past in a way that makes sense to them. Being able to provide students with meaningful resources is the best way to get over this learning curve. Whenever you have a social studies topic to introduce or review, you want to find engaging products that you know your students will be able to learn from. Within my store, you will find a plethora of social studies resources to utilize with your students.

What You Get:

This is a Civil Rights Slides + Lecture Notes Resource. There are 32 slides in the presentation and 2 pages for the lecture notes, which is an editable Word document.

The presentation will cover reconstruction amendments, civil rights legislation, and prominent figures in the United States.

The guided notes will allow students to write as they follow along with the presentation. This gives them a chance to follow up on what they have learned.

How To Implement This Resource:

You should print off enough copies of the lecture notes for each student to have, so they can make notes on it as they follow along with the presentation. As students work from slide to slide learning about American civil rights, look for opportunities to engage them.

Engagement may look like:

-- Having them discuss their thoughts on the Emancipation Proclamation

-- Doing a quick write about Jim Crow laws

-- Having a whole group discussion about the importance of the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments

-- Having a small group discussion about the major figures in Civil Rights
