Handout with Questions and Survey The teacher will use survey questions prior to

terms, SCOTUS decisions, and notable figures
of the Civil Rights movement the students
are or are not familiar with.
Visual Ranking Tool The teacher will utilize a visual ranking tool
for the students to, as a class, rank the
importance of notable events of the civil
rights movement to assess their
understanding and not just name recognition
of notable events. These events will include
notable figures and SCOTUS decision as well.
Flashcards Students will create flash cards to help
organize information on notable figures in
the Civil Rights movement. These flash cards
will include information about the notable
events and/or SCOTUS decisions that person
is associated with. These flashcards will help
when playing the Guess Who? Group game.
Group Game – Guess Who? In groups students will play a game of Guess
Who? with notable civil rights figures. The
winners of each group will all play a winner’s
circle round to determine overall winner and

research papers to class the Friday prior to
