   This activity requires developing a PowerPoint about the Civil Rights Movement in the United States.

 The 5 elements of a news story - who, what, when, where, why should be addressed in your PowerPoint.

Your slides should include background information, personality profiles, description of events with pictures, and sound.

 All resources should be listed on your last slide with the title, Works Cited .

When you prepare your information include:

Key events and people of the civil rights movement

What were their goals?

What were the strategies of the participants?

Why did the civil rights movement succeed?

On the next to the last slide reflect and, in your own words, answer the question, “Do you feel that the goals of the Civil Rights Movement have been attained?”

The last slide(s) will be titled Cited Works.

Your project should be timed and have appropriate music/audio accompany it.  You may want to include video (AVI).

 The PowerPoint should not be more than 8 minutes in length.

 You are to follow the rubric you have been given.

       Use Inspiration 6 software to outline your information. Print and turn your outline in to me.

 This project will be presented before a panel of judges the last week in May.

          If you are a sophomore or a freshman, this project will be used to meet one of the technology requirements for graduation.
