What teachers LOVE about this resource:
My 8th graders are loving this. I did have to modify some parts of it so that it would work better for them, but that's no big deal. They are loving it!
My students really enjoyed this and it was a perfect culmination for our Civil Rights Unit
Students used as their final project after the Civil Rights unit and were excited to be able to use what they learned and apply it to a current day scenario.
AWESOME resource! My students loved being able to tie in the Civil Rights Movement with current issues that mean a lot to them! The creativity that came out of this project was great!
A great addition to our Civil Rights unit!
