ESOL – Together with the students, the teacher will provide a graphic organizer of the required content, as well as a list of key vocabulary words and their meaning. (Ex.: Jim Crow Laws, discrimination, racism) The ESOL teacher may want to also provide images that help explain each vocab word. This will help guide students though their research process. Specific due dates will be located on the organizer to help students stay organized and timely.

INQUIRY CENTER #1A – ESOL in the Regular Classroom

Students will be provided graphic organizer (2x2) for ESOL vocabulary. Each card should include the following: Vocab word, definition, picture/image/drawing and an example. This activity should be done before the research for ESOL students.

INQUIRY CENTER #1A –  Research

Working individually, students will begin their research. Students should use the Civil Rights Elements Research Guide to help organize their research and sources. Using the information gathered through the research, each group of three will create a collage of a specific part of the Civil Rights Movement together. Students may also create an album cover with five songs that define the Civil Rights Movement. Each student will individually create their own children’s book. Each student will use books from the media center, their textbook, and the Internet to help with their research on their assigned events and leaders in the Civil Rights Movement.

Students should decide synthesize their notes and brainstorm ideas for how they would like to design their collage.
