Even though the field trip came a little before we started our next unit, we were lucky enough to work with Becka Fisk at The Paley Center for Media on the topic of Civil Rights and Social Justice. The kids did an excellent job discussing the issues and comparing video clips. Mr.s Fisk said they were WONDERFUL and would love to see them at the end of our next unit to see how much they have learned and how many more questions they have.
Unit two starts with the struggle for equality with slavery and our new nation, and takes us through the great migration right up to the civil rights movement with Dr. King and Cesar Chavez. As we wind down our study of exploration and gear up for social justice and what makes a hero... I am thankful the students got this opportunity.
