3. The ABC’s of the Civil Rights Movement
Think of all the names, places and events involving the Civil Rights Movement.
Using the ABC list, think of as many ideas and names as you can. List them on the chart so that you have a list from A-Z of Civil Rights information. For example: A – Attitudes had to be changed; Atlanta – birthplace of Martin Luther King, Jr.; Activists came together to challenge old rules
After you complete the anticipation guide, go to Ms. Wilcox’s blog to see the complete directions and requirements for the project.

4. Note Taking Guide – Use this guide for your notes
As you look at multiple resources, you will record your observations on the chart. Write what the source is (i.e. image of Martin Luther King Jr. being arrested in Atlanta) in the source box. Be sure you write down the source of the information in the “source” box. You will write what you see in the I see box. Write why that source matters in the time period in the talk about it box or ah-ha moments, place these in the notes box. In order to be sure you look at many types of sources, you must have at least one image, video, and website.
