Description
The student activities in this Civil Rights Movement product are based on the highly engaging Mighty Times video, The Children’s March- a free public access (40 minute) retelling of this pivotal event in the Civil Rights Movement. The video tells the story of the Birmingham Children's Crusade, and how the young people of Birmingham braved arrest, fire hoses, and police dogs in 1963 in order to end segregation in Birmingham, Alabama. (Video link is included) My students LOVE this documentary!
In this activity your students will:
- Examine 5 photographs/primary source excerpts that illustrate the events surrounding the Children’s March (Birmingham Children's Crusade) and will draw some conclusions as to what happened during the event. (Warm-up activity)
- Watch the 40 minute video while answering guided video viewing questions.
- Optional: Complete an extension activity in which students read a primary source account from a child involved in the Children’s March from an online museum (link provided) and complete a corresponding graphic organizer,
All materials, student handouts and website links are provided. A teacher answer key is included.
***A Google and Traditional version Included!
Note: As with all videos, make sure you preview the video to make sure it is suitable for your age group.
This activity pairs perfectly with this student timeline activity! Check it Out!
