Use the article we looked at in class to judge the impact of the March on Washington over the last 50 years. And a couple of photos to help…

A few things for today:

1. Hand up Civil Rights task
2. Finish notes on the Freedom Rides if this got left behind …
3. March on Washington
   1. Read the overview from CORE
   2. Play the YouTube of MLK while you read his speech
   3. Research and read an analysis of MLK’s speech: what made it ‘great’?
4. Independent Research Task

Continuing on from yesterday, read the ‘Important Points’.

What are the four most important ones (you may combine some) and why?

[Discussion]

Time for Civil Rights essay

Read the article on Freedom Rides in Civil Rights section.

Summarise each section in 20-40 words (some might be even less)

READ the whole section first

THINK ….. and then WRITE 2-3 sentences on what was the most important info. Just name examples, don’t retell the whole story.

If this is your first time doing this, it is OK to find it difficult 🙂

This is a good starting point for looking at Martin Luther King’s acceptance and use of non-violence as a tactic.
