14 Civil Rights Since the 1960s Lesson Plan Overview In this 70 minute activity, students consider the civil rights movement since the death of Martin Luther King in Through an interpretation of part of Martin Luther King s famous speech, I Have a Dream, students reflect on the achievements of men and women that would not have been possible without the implementation of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. The research could act as an impetus for some further literacy work. Materials Resources and organisation: Copies of the fact sheet on Martin Luther King The following extract from Martin Luther King s I Have a Dream speech copied on to the interactive whiteboard: I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin but by the content of their character. M. L. King, I Have a Dream, speech presented at the Lincoln Memorial, Washington, D.C., August 28th 1963 Access to the Internet Organise the students into working partners Lesson Structure 0-10 minutes Share with the students the fact sheet on Martin Luther King and draw their attention to the 1964 Civil Rights Act and King s subsequent Nobel Peace Prize. Discuss with the students what type of man he was by asking them to draw out his characteristics minutes Introduce King s famous speech entitled I Have a Dream, then draw the students attention to the part of his speech where King describes how he dreamt that children would be judged by their character rather than the colour of their skin. Ask the students to reflect on what he meant by this and discuss its importance. Elicit the understanding that without the work of the civil rights movement, making a speech like this would not have been possible minutes Ask the students to talk to their partners about whether they think Martin Luther King s dream has come true. Discuss their thoughts and ask the students to think about what has happened in their lifetime to support this argument (e.g. the first black American president) minutes Draw the class back together and ask them to share their findings by listing any achievements that they may have found minutes Finally bring the children back to the question, asking whether they think that if Martin Luther King was alive today, he would have felt that his dream had come true. * Follow up activities could include a newspaper report on one of the great achievements.

15 Traditional African Masks Lesson Plan Overview In this 60 minute activity, students explore the importance of African tribal masks. They are then given the opportunity to design and make their own mask using papier-mâché. A simpler version could be made by using cardboard. Additional time is required to complete the masks. Materials Resources and organisation: Pictorial examples of African tribal masks. These are freely available on the Internet. Allow access to the three different mask shapes that accompany this lesson plan. Resources for making the masks, e.g. newspaper, balloons, glue, cardboard, paints. Sketch books to record the design process. Lesson Structure 0-15 minutes Show the students pictorial examples of African tribal masks and ask them what their initial thoughts are when they see them. Ask the students to share their ideas and then discuss who might wear one and why. Through the discussion, elicit the understanding that mask making was traditionally passed down from father to son and that masks were used to retell traditional and religious stories. Explain to the students that there were three main types of masks crest masks, helmet masks and face masks and that they portrayed both people and animals minutes Explain to the students that you would like them to design and make their own masks. However as they will be using papier-mâché to make their masks, they will need to start making the papier-mâché base so that it has time to dry. Give each student a balloon, some newspaper and glue and ask them to cover half the balloon by building up layers of papier-mâché minutes While the papier-mâché is drying, start the students off on the design element. Explain the purpose of the mask, (i.e. to entertain) and ask them to consider what type of mask it will be, whether it is going to portray a person or an animal and the colours they plan to use. Ask them to incorporate their ideas into their design and to then list the resources they will need and consider the process they will go through minutes Working in groups of six, invite the children to present their designs to each other. The other children in the group can peer assess the designs in terms of the design elements. Additional time is needed to make the masks. Once finished, the masks can be evaluated according to the design.

16 My Dream for the World Lesson Plan Overview In this 60 minute activity, students reflect on Martin Luther King s speech, I Have a Dream. They are then asked to consider why the speech was so important. Students are then asked to work in groups to think about what their dream for their school would be. A follow-up session is needed for them to record their dream either on paper, in the form of a speech or for voice recording. N.B. This lesson is designed to be used as a follow on from the plan on civil rights. Materials Resources and organisation: Extract from the audio recording of Martin Luther King s I Have a Dream speech - it would be worth having the extract written on the IWB for more visual learners Organise the students into talk partners and groups of four Provide large pieces of sugar paper and felt-tip pens Lesson Structure 0-10 minutes Explain to the students that you would like them to listen to an extract of Martin Luther King s speech again. Play the speech and ask them to think about what his dreams were and why the speech was so important. Encourage them to make notes on individual whiteboards minutes Once the speech is over, ask students to identify one part of the dream that interested them in particular and ask them to think about why it was so important to both Martin Luther King and the wider population. Reinforce the idea that the speech was important for everyone and not just the black community minutes Explain to the students that you would like them to think about a dream they may have for their school community. As a class discuss some ideas, possibly steering them towards aspects of inclusion. It may be something relevant only to their class or one that affects the wider school population, e.g. an international day minutes Organise the students into groups of four and ask them to come up with their dream. Give them large pieces of sugar paper and felt-tip pens so they can record their ideas minutes Give each group time to present their dream to the rest of the class. It may be appropriate to engage the class in peer assessment where they consider the dream and the reasons behind it minutes In preparation for the next lesson, explain to the students that you would like them to think about how they could present their dream, e.g. they could make a poster, write their speech out or draft a script that they later record using a voice recorder. For this part of the activity, they could work in pairs or fours. A follow up session is required to complete the activity.

17 Civil Rights Timeline Lesson Plan Overview In this 60 minute activity, students reflect on the civil rights movement taking into consideration the abolition of slavery and the need for Martin Luther King to make his speech. They then hear an extract from I Have a Dream and are asked to consider why it was necessary. They then research the events leading up to the speech and consider why it was such an important day in history. Materials Resources and organisation: Extract from the audio recording of Martin Luther King s I Have a Dream speech - have the extract written on the IWB for more visual learners Copies of the fact sheet entitled The Abolition of Slavery Access to the Internet and reference books so students can research the civil rights movement Lesson Structure 0-15 minutes Show the students the fact sheet on the abolition of slavery and draw their attention to one of the final bullet points: It was not until the start of the American Civil War in 1861 that the trade of West African slaves to America stopped completely. Ask them in their talk partners to consider what happened to African Americans after this, for example ask them, Do you think that they were treated as equals from then on? Why or why not? After the students have had time to discuss, draw the class back together to share their thoughts minutes Explain to the students that people were still not treated equally and ask them if they have heard of Martin Luther King. Then play an extract from his speech. Provide some questions for them to think about as they listen to it, e.g. What was Martin Luther King saying?, What was his dream? and Why do you think he needed to make the speech? Give students time to share their thoughts with their talk partners and then with the rest of the class minutes Explain to the students that you would like them to research the events that led up to the speech. Provide reference books and access to the Internet so they can carry out their research in pairs with one child making notes minutes Bring the class back together to discuss their findings. Ask them to reflect on whether Martin Luther King s dream has come true. * Follow up activities could include compiling a timeline, a hot seating activity where one of the children is Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks or a person from the crowd thinking back to that day.
