Now that you are familiar with the Civil Rights Movement, you will analyze and assess three of its events by
creating an informative presentation. Use your chart to help you begin your work.
Steps:
Choose three of the following events or actions to profile in a presentation:
March on Washington
Montgomery bus boycott
Watts Riots
Selma March
Children’s Crusade
Formation of Black Panthers
Freedom Summer
Freedom Rides
Greensboro sit-ins
Summarize each event, including which of the civil rights organizations and leaders were responsible for it.
Explain whether each event was violent or non-violent and why.
Explain whether each event could be considered a success or not. Be sure to include specific details to support
your claim.
Explain your response to the following question: Based on the outcomes of the events you chose, do you think
violent or nonviolent protest strategies were more effective?
Organize your work into one presentation in your choice of format. Examples include a podcast, voice thread,
slideshow, video, or newsletter. There are many 21st century tools available for creating and submitting these
types of presentations. For more information about tools your school recommends, please visit the Web 2.0
Tools area in your course or contact your instructor.
