Civil Rights – Student Event Presentations

Please go here to access Mr. Wood’s podcasts on the Civil Rights Movement.

I have used the website Blendspace to organize media access to the following events of the American Civil Rights movement.  I will split the class into groups of three and four.  Each group will have one day to organize themselves on an assigned events below.  Begin with the Blendspace video and continue online to educate yourself  and your partners further.  I will cover each of these in class in the next two weeks.  Your group will be together at the front of the room, clarifying the event.  Your group will earn a fifty point homework grade based the following:

  • Knowledge of the event – I’ll ask questions for you to clarify.
  • The video from Blendspace – walk us through it.
  • Specific significance of Amendment 14 in regard to your issue.
  • Specific significance of Brown v Board in regard to your issue.
  • Specific significance of Amendment 1 in regard to your issue.
  • Specific significance of Amendment 10 in regard to your issue.
  • I will ask questions of ALL group members.  So educate one another

Close Up Airfare Info – Good News

OK guys…here’s the deal on Group Sales – Detroit to Reagan National in D.C.airplane

United doesn’t do a non-stop and they cost a lot.  Delta is too expensive as well $425.

U.S. Airways – is $298 (taxes included).  A little high, however the times and the conditions are very good.

  • Flight out (May 3) 9:25 AM / arrive in DC at 10:59 AM
  • Flight back (May 9) 5:25 PM / arrive in Detroit at 7:17 PM
  • This gives us a good chunk of Sat May 3 in DC.  And a good chunk of Fri May 9 in DC.
  • We’ll have to leave early in AM on May 3.  Probably 5:30…not too bad.  And getting back at 7:17 will allow plenty of time to drive home to Muskegon.
  • Conditions – we must pay a $25 non refundable deposit by February 18.  Very good!
  • Conditions – we must pay the balance of the ticket by March 19.  Very good!
  • This ain’t bad – conditions are much better than going online paying all at once.  Plus the times in and out are great.  And its a direct flight.

We need to talk – and make a decision…this week.  I’ll announce a meeting in the cafeteria for Wednesday.  Let me know if you have any questions.
