Civil Rights

History.com has some great resources for lessons on the Civil Rights Movement. One thing I found particularly fascinating was Voices of the Civil Rights which can be found at www.history.com/classroom/voices/. There are songs, lyrics, video and audio clips. Incorporating this site into your lessons will give students a feel for the time period. Analysis of the lyrics, which are also provided on the website, will also give students some insights to the emotions and situations faced by those who struggled through the movement. Using music and the Internet are just a few ways to make learning more interesting for your students.
