Hi Class,
Welcome to our very own Civil Rights Blog! This week we are beginning our unit on Civil Rights in the United States. This blog will be an essential tool for the unit. On this blog you will be able to access all sources and assignments here at school or anywhere you can get the Internet. You will also respond to writing prompts on the blog and even be asked to comment on your peer’s work. It is my hope that the blog will allow you to be fully prepared for the final assessment at the end of class.
Let me start this unit off with a bit of good news. THERE WILL BE NO ASSIGNED HOMEWORK!!! You will have plenty of time to finish all your work during class. However, if you do not finish an assignment in class it is your responsibility to complete it at home, during study hall or in class if you have spare time.
For your first assignment I would like you to post a comment on this entry. In this comment I would like you to describe your own background knowledge in Civil Rights. This could be something you have learned in the past, something you would like to learn, or a question you may have about the week ahead.
Lets get to work!!
Mr. Ney
