2.Choose a Civil Rights event from the list of topics from the above link: (no two groups can do the same topic)

3.Research your topic. You must understand the event and why it is significant. Read several websites to get a clear picture of what happened. Keep track of the websites and create a bibliography (works cited) to show the research you have done.

4.Create a small poster about the topic.

Include on your poster:

-Background information about the person or the event. Write in the middle of your poster at least a paragraph explaining what happened and why the event was important to the Civil Rights Movement.

-When and where the event took place. Include the city, state, day, month, and year.

-Photos of other art images of the person/event. Fill the rest of the poster with images printed out from the internet. (Depending on computer availability)

5.Present your poster to the class. Explain the event and the pictures that you have selected. If you are working with a partner, both of you need to speak during the presentation.
