Civil Rights Movement: Dr. Martin Luther King vs Malcolm X

Here students analyze 8 quotes from these two influential men, about 4 different topics: Race relations, education, economics, and violence.

A Pirate's Life DBQ
Let's face it - pirates are cool and fun! With recent popular culture, though, it gets harder to separate the fact from the fiction. In this DBQ young teens are challenged to read primary sources and draw their own conclusions about what a pirate (or privateer!) may have faced in their life, compared to the everyday colonial-era person.
We explore the definitions of pirate, privateer and buccaneer, where they hung out, and why the life - although dangerous! - was lucrative and free.

You could also upload the infographics to an online learning page, like Schoology, and have students answer the questions from the computer. *Note: the printers at my school do not print in color.

I teach ELAR, and we read this text during our "Fight for Freedom" unit in the HMH textbook. I wanted to make something non-traditional versus the usual boring worksheet. To print you'd need to use size 8 x 14 paper. My students really enjoyed doing it and the aesthetic of it! *Updated*- I read your comments and added an answer key. Enjoy!

New England Slavery DBQ
What was slavery like in the Colonial North? This is a big research question. To start the discussion is to dispel old stereotypes about a free North, opposed to a slave-ridden South before the Civil War. Colonial America is seen as a patch-work of slavery practices. Students examine primary sources and draw their own conclusions to see what sort of slave life existed in New England. Background information gives some context for each document.
I include a glossary of some of the tougher terms.
