I am not too sure if class copies were made for the matching portion of the processing activity. If that is the
case I think I will just alternate through the PowerPoint description of the men again.

Assessment
The worksheet assess to the students what African American people had to go through to fight for their
rights. It also will give a sense of how times have changed, how democrats were the racist then but now
they fight for everyone’s rights/civil liberties.

Notes and Credits

There are many lesson plan ideas available, from other teachers, curriculum guides, and online. You are
UH COE Lesson Plan Template (Direct Instruction)
free to use whatever information you find to inspire your lesson planning, provided:
1. You properly cite your sources;
2. You fit the information into this required lesson format, meaning you will need to add additional
information to complete the lesson; and
3. You modify the lesson to fit your objectives and student needs (You will almost never teach any
lesson as is – even those found in your teacher’s guides. You will always know best what the
individual learners in your classroom will respond to.)
