CCSS Addressed:  ELA W7.7 & 7.8, ELA SL7.1 & 7.6, ELA RI7.2,7.4,7.6 & 7.9

Several of the book options for our second round of online book clubs are about the Civil Rights Movement.  In this project, you will be choosing one of six different aspects of the Civil Rights movement to investigate.  We will talk about each option for a bit before you pick a topic to research.

You will be working in a group of 3 or 4 people who also want to research this topic.  After you do your research you will be presenting your topic to the class.  Complete instructions are on the sheet.
