Description
This file includes two lessons. The first is a set of scenarios designed to help students understand the complexities of segregation laws in America. The second lesson is a game based assignment designed to give students an understanding of the Greenbook.
Lesson One: Students review a segregation law list to identify the many areas of segregation that often are not discussed (such as barber shop laws, nurse laws, and laws for the blind). Students then engage in a discussion of scenarios designed to challenge the aforementioned segregation law list. This lessons focuses on the issues below:
•After the Civil War the federal government passed the 13-15th Amendments and divided the South into military districts to make sure the South was complying with Reconstruction
•The South wants home rule
•The 1876 Election Compromise removed federal troops from the South and eliminated military districts on the condition the three Southern states cast their electoral votes for Hayes allowing Hayes to win the disputed election
•The South begins passing state segregation laws
•The federal government supports segregation laws in Plessy vs. Ferguson Case
Lesson Two: This file is designed to expose students to the Greenbook. During segregation, African Americans were subjected to violence and harassment on American roads. Travel was very dangerous. The Greenbook was a guide designed to inform motorists of friendly places during travels to avoid hostile environments.
Game Directions: Travel from the starting space to destination moving one space at a time. Each space you move on counts as 1 hours of driving time. As you plan your travel moving from space to space, the player must make decisions about travel time and safety. By using the Greenbook, students avoid hostile encounters and make it to their destination safely.
File Includes: Video files explaining the lesson, movie question discussion sheet, directions, two games (one for White and Black Americans during segregation) and game questions. All files are in Word and PDF for revision if need.
Few Sample Questions
1. Why was the Greenbook necessary?
2. Which aspect of the game did you find most disturbing?
3. What was your upset meter like?
File Includes: Video files explaining the lesson, directions, lecture, worksheets (in Word and PDF) and PowerPoint.
Comments from Students:
I think that it was a good way to show how people lived back then and how times have changed. I could see the difficulties they faced in making sure to follow the rules. I could also see how these people were scared.
I think its kind of crazy to see the difference between what white person had to go through and black person. The white person is allowed anywhere and the black person has to always be paranoid and check their back. Crazy world back then.
The game was interesting as I got to see how a black mans travel was different then a white mans. A black man would have had to go through way more trouble then a white man who could go anywhere and do anything they want.
