Reminders:

 * Mr. Devine is in the Night Library every Monday after school.
 * Today we have a Civil Rights Vocabulary Test!

Directions (students know to do this):

 * 1) Get your folder and all of its contents.
 * 2) Take out your notebook.
 * 3) Copy today's **learning objectives** and **homework**.

__Learning Objectives__ (write on the board and have students copy in their planner/notebook)
Students will:
 * Show understanding of Civil Rights Vocabulary.
 * Create an individual civil rights time line


 * 1. Review Civil Rights Vocabulary**
 * [|Civil Rights Words]
 * Click on the link above and read the definitions and ask student volunteers to match the definition to a vocab word.
 * Only review for 5 minutes or so, no need to review all 26 words.
 * 2. Civil Rights Vocabulary Test**
 * Students have 20 minutes to finish the test. No talking during the test. If they finish early they can begin the next assignment.
 * 3****. Civil Rights Time Line**
 * Based on yesterday's work (see the time line on the wall in the corner) students will individually create a small version of the entire timeline. Have students start on 1948 and end at 1968.
 * Students do not need to write a lot--they only need to summarize an important event at each point of the timeline.
 * For example:
 * 1954: Brown V. Board of Education ends segregation in schools.
 * 1960: Sit-ins.
 * Students can use a sheet of paper from the white butcher paper roll to make their individual time lines.
 * Students cal also ask each other and the teacher for help about what to put on the time line.
 * Pictures/drawings would be great, but they are not mandatory. If students finish this assignment quickly, you can have them add pictures.
