Lessons
The study's lessons centered around the civil rights movement, crafted to mirror content commonly encountered in other classes. The selection of this subject stemmed from the observation that certain students were encountering difficulties in their history class, leading to the decision to address the topic and offer extra support through the study's lessons.
These lessons aimed to showcase how the iPad could be utilized in other classes with minimal scaffolding, illustrating its potential as an effective learning tool across various subjects. Standards:
11.10 Students analyze the development of federal civil rights and voting rights. 1. Explain how demands of African Americans helped produce a stimulus for civil rights, including President Roosevelt’s ban on racial discrimination in defense industries in 1941, and how African Americans’ service in World War II produced a stimulus for President Truman’s decision to end segregation in the armed forces in 1948. 2. Examine and analyze the key events, policies, and court cases in the evolution of civil rights, including Dred Scott v. Sandford, Plessy v. Ferguson, Brown v. Board of Education, Regents of the University of California v. Bakke, and California Proposition 209. 4. Examine the roles of civil rights advocates (e.g., A. Philip Randolph, Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcom X, Thurgood Marshall, James Farmer, Rosa Parks), including the significance of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail” and “I Have a Dream” speech. 6. Analyze the passage and effects of civil rights and voting rights legislation (e.g., 1964 Civil Rights Act, Voting Rights Act of 1965) and the Twenty-Fourth Amendment, with an emphasis on equality of access to education and to the political process. |
