NCSS.1.4.b ...help learners to identify, describe, and express appreciation for the
influences of various historical and contemporary cultures on an individuals daily life;
Students, we have been learning about Martin Luther King Jr. and the Civil
Rights Movement, now I want you to think of another Civil Rights Leader during
this time period. Remember, there were other races that were influencing the
rights of African Americans during this time period. The students will then be
required to think of a civil rights leader that was important during this time period
(excluding Martin Luther King Jr.) ex. Rosa Parks, Coretta Scott King, Nelson
Mandela, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, etc.
The students will have the opportunity to do a short research about their specific
leader and draw an illustration of that person including facts. The students will be
directed to go to this website. http://www.biography.com/people/groups/activistscivil-rights-activists
The students will then do a short presentation, with each group presenting.
1.5 Differentiation
Above Level: Students must come up with three unique facts about Martin Luther
King, (using the Scavenger Hunt website) that wasnt asked on the handout.
Below Level: Student will be guided during the scavenger hunt. Students will be able
to draw their answers for the scavenger hunt.
1.6 Closure: Once the students are finished, the teacher will take a picture of the finished
presentations as an assessment and reference. As a closure activity, students will write or
draw what they now think civil rights means after talking about it in class. Boys and
girls, I enjoyed learning about Martin Luther King Jr. and the Civil Rights Movement. I
hope this gives you a better understanding of the Southeast and the history behind it!
Tomorrow, we will be talking about the ports of Southeast.
1.7 Formative/Summative Assessment of Students
Summative: The teacher will collect the scavenger hunt worksheets along with the
presentations that the students made in class to observe if the students learned more
about the Civil Rights, Martin Luther King Jr. and other civil rights activists.
(Learning outcome 2 and 3)
Formative: Ask students to redraw their picture of civil rights. Was it the same? Or
was it different after reading about Dr. King? (Learning outcome 1)

2.1 Reflection on Planning
(two paragraphs)
This lesson was very enjoyable to plan because I had an idea of what I wanted to do before I
even started writing the lesson, so it made the lesson flow nicely. One concern I had with this
lesson plan was relating it to the rest of the lesson. I know that most of the civil rights
movement took place in the Southeast, so I tried to make my lesson according to that, since
that is what the unit plan is about.
I loved making another scavenger hunt, also. I think it incorporates technology and then real
life situations students still do in the classroom, like completing a worksheet. I never really
completed a scavenger hunt before, but since we did it before for another assignment, I
enjoyed doing it. So, I wanted to incorporate it into my lesson for the unit plan.
