A Website on the Civil Rights Movement
Your project for this unit is to create a website for middle school students to teach them about various events associated with the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960’s. Each of you should visit this Webquest: http://fp.seattleschools.org/fpclass/web33/ and choose one of the topics listed.* Use the resources as well as any other sources if needed to educate 7th graders about your selected topic. Remember, this is a group project but you are each responsible for a different topic.
* You may also select from these topics, though you will need to find your own websites:
· Wounded Knee
· National Organization for Women
· Caesar Chavez and the farm workers’ movement
One of you will be the Web Master. Here is your rubric:
