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.

ReplyDeleteIt was a non-violent civil rights act but many kids died.
ReplyDeleteMy topic is Ruby Bridges and you probably think that she was scared and nervous order but she said in her interview she was not frightned.
ReplyDeleteI know. I would have been scared
DeleteI learned that the march was all a statement about how the black wanted to vote.
ReplyDeleteI was learning about Ruby Bridges and I found out that the reason she went to the white school because she passed a test that was supposed to be impossible, and her parents were willing to risk her by sending her there.
ReplyDeleteI learned that People threaten Ruby and came to her house. The U.S Marines had to stay at her house do she would die.
ReplyDeleteI learned that, when the kids would march the police would threaten them with their dogs.
ReplyDeleteI was shocked to find out that all the kids that marched were expelled

ReplyDeleteI learned that during the march the main person the called him king he was thretend by the police and they started to arest the kids and he had money to bail them out and they started to run out of money
ReplyDeleteThey used 15 sticks of dynomate on the 16th church. But i dont think they were aiming at the girls, i think that they were aiming at the church.
ReplyDeleteOne of my question is would they of bombed the church if they knew that the girls were in there?
I learned that the children that were marching actually wanted to go to jail, so they can fill the jail cells. Thats so brave of them! If I was doing that march I would be sooo scared and I would hide.
ReplyDeleteI learned that Ruby Bridge's teacher Mrs. Henry still was willing to teach her despite her skin color and even though all the other kids were pulled out.
