Description

Overview:

This lesson plan opens with reflective questions that ask students to reflect on their prior knowledge of Civil Rights leaders. Students then watch, analyze, and respond to an introductory video that presents an overview of Mary Frances Early's life and accomplishments. Next, students engage in an engagement activity, where they view seven video clips that detail various aspects of Early's life, including her childhood, her admission to the University of Georgia and accomplishment as the first African American student to graduate from the university, and her accomplishments and challenges throughout her life. Students then conduct research and compare Early to another Civil Rights leader of choice, preparing a presentation to share with their peers. The lesson concludes with a reflective video and writing prompt.
