Rosa Parks
Process
"For the past three weeks, we have been studying the life of Rosa Parks, the Civil Rights Movement, and other famous people who contributed to this famous movement. Today we are going to start a final project that will focus around Rosa Parks and her life.
What are some big moments in Rosa's life that you remember? Do you think what she did on the bus would have been hard? What gave her her strength?"
"Today we are going to start a final project where you and your group will be able to examine these and some other questions more closely about Rosa and her life. You and your group will be using what you have already learned thus far about Rosa and some of these internet sites that I have picked out for you to look at. Make sure to take careful notes and think to yourself 'Is this an important fact that I want to have in my project?'
You will have three social studies class periods to work on these and then the remainder of your project will need to be done on your own time. We will also we be presenting these projects on Friday afternoon."
These are the choices that your group will have to decided on what your group would like to do best. I will be creating your groups.
Project One: Students will create a written report answering the following questions listed below. This group will need to create a catchy introduction that will grab the readers attention and take turns presenting their report to the class.
Project Two: Students will create a poster and must be able to answer all of the questions listed below on their poster. This project must include pictures, lots of color, and be done neatly. Students will present this poster in front of the class and must be able to explain each part of their poster.
Project Three: Students will create a mock interview where someone in the group will play Rosa Parks and one or two interviewers. Students will create a script that they may use during the presentation of the interview. Their script must include the following questions and any other interesting things about Rosa Parks they would like it include.
Here are the questions that your project needs to have answered along with your own questions about Rosa Parks.

Finally, after all of your all of your hard work with your group, you will present your final projects in front of the classroom. Every person in your group must have a speaking part, everyone must make good eye contact with the audience, and everyone must be able to hear you as you speak.
