Visual Display Learning Objective-
Students will be able to see first hand where certain major events occurred and who were the influential leaders of the Civil Rights Movement.
Explanation-
This interactive map is a great visual way for students to learn about various key events that occurred during the Civil Rights Movement. The site allows them to click on various cities and then read about the key events and historical sites. Rather than trying to visualize where each event took place they can see it firsthand. It differentiates the learning for those visual learners while being an educational experience for all.
