Resistance to Reconstruction: Sharecropping, KKK, Jim Crow Laws
I found that students lacked a true understanding of the institutionalized racism and social/political/economic challenges African Americans faced in the 100 years between the end of slavery and the first breakthroughs of the Civil Rights Movement. To provide more context, I created this assignment explaining sharecropping, the KKK, Jim Crow Laws, Poll Taxes, Literacy Tests, and Grandfather Clauses. It is very informative and great for class discussion afterwards and linking to modern times.

Political Parties: Find out if your students are conservative or liberal!
Students can have very strong opinions on many of the topics that surround the news today (often their parents' opinions, but opinions all the same). But do they really know if they are truly conservative or liberal: democrat or republican?
This activity explores all of their beliefs and thoughts on a number of world/national issues and begin to filter their political preferences to one side of the spectrum or the other. This IS NOT an exercise to pin students against students, but rather to

Gerrymandering Puzzles!
The purpose of these materials is to allow your students to try the idea of Gerrymandering for themselves! This lesson goes best with my FREE powerpoint detailing the history of gerrymandering and how it has been used to divide and conquer. There are many ways you could use these worksheets but I suggest at the very least, as a part of your lesson, that you check out CGP Grey's youtube channel and show your students his segment on gerrymandering --> (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mky11UJb9A
