Instruction:
Welcome to Unit 5, Decades of Change! In this unit, we will dive into the history of South Carolina from the 1960s to the 1990s. This period was a time of significant social, political, and cultural change in our state, and it's important to understand how those changes impacted our communities and our society as a whole.
Today, we will focus on the beginning of this period - the 1960s. This decade was a time of great upheaval in America and South Carolina, as Civil Rights activists fought for equal rights for all people, regardless of race. This struggle for Civil Rights had a profound impact on our state and our nation, and it's important to understand how it all began.
Activity:
To begin our lesson, we will watch a short video about the Civil Rights Movement in South Carolina. As you watch the video, take note of the key events and figures that are mentioned.
After watching the video, we will have a class discussion about what we learned.
Review:
Let's review some key terms from the video:
- Civil Rights Movement: A social and political movement in the United States that aimed to secure legal and constitutional rights for African Americans.
- Segregation: The separation of people based on their race or ethnicity.
- Integration: The process of bringing people of different races, religions, and ethnic groups together.
Assessment:
For homework, I would like you to research one figure from the Civil Rights Movement in South Carolina and write a short essay about their contributions to the movement. Be sure to include key details about their life and work, as well as how their efforts impacted the fight for Civil Rights in our state. This assignment will be due at the beginning of our next class.
Great job today, and I look forward to learning more about the Civil Rights Movement with you all.
