If you are studying Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Civil Rights Movement, you might be interested in this free packet made by Liesl over at homeschoolden.com. It covers the historical events leading up to the Civil Rights movements, such as:
- the first slaves (Jamestown) picking tobacco
- Slave Trade
- the Declaration of Independence and Constitution (and the fact that slavery was not addressed)
- Cotton and Plantation Life
- Black Codes
- Civil War
- 13th, 14th, 15th Amendments
- KKK
- Separate but Equal (Plessy v Ferguson)
- Jim Crow Laws
- Segregation
You can cut out these photos and have your students make their own timeline of events. At the bottom of that post you’ll find other free resources about the Civil Rights Movement as well. Notebook pages about Rosa Parks and the Montgomery Bus Movement, events of the Civil Rights era and others. Again, you find the packet here:
