Description
Emmett Till: A four-step activity for the tragedy & inspiration of Emmett Till!
This top-notch resource is included in the Civil Rights Movement Unit Bundle!
In this multi-faceted approach to teaching and learning about the tragedy of Emmett Till, students are engaged across many platforms to understand his story, his incredible impact, and the impact of this horrific moment in history.
Students complete a song and text analysis to develop background information regarding Emmett Till, then move to an image analysis video where they complete analysis and reaction questions. Finally, students move to evaluate two websites on the story and legacy of Emmett, and his mother Mamie, Till. A final prompt is included where students work individually or collaboratively to express their views on four key questions regarding Emmett Till, then a cooperative grouping assignment is included to allow students to voice their thoughts. A very moving assignment!
A teacher key and a Google 1:1 version are included!
