Civil Rights Movement Flipped Class Google Slides & Video Lecture

This is a Civil Rights Google Slides Lecture, but instead of the teacher lecturing, every slide has a video to explain the vocabulary term being covered. Why lecture in your U.S. History class when instead you can play interesting videos? The truth is most students do not learn best by their teacher lecturing for a whole period. Most students would rather learn by watching videos and discussing and reflecting what they are learning with their peers. This is a google slides presentation that includes definitions, videos, and guided notes with pictures to teach students about the Civil Rights movement. You can play the videos for your students, or assign them as a class activity to have students watch on their own. This activity ends with students researching the demographics of their own school and discussing whether it is considered segregated.

Essential Question: What is more likely to bring change: passive resistance & non-violence or “by any means necessary”?

Perfect for a flipped classroom! And for those who want to create a more inclusive curriculum.
