The West Wing Teaching Guide - Seasons 1-7
This is a complete book for ALL 7 SEASONS!
Like most Social Studies teachers, I’m always very excited anytime a new movie or better yet television series comes out that is about something that I teach in class. Yes, there are often lots of inaccuracies, but it’s about the things I love…and that things I teach….double whammy! The West Wing was one of those series, but more than just watching when it was on TV, I now find myself watching it over and over again in the years since it has gone off

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.
