The Struggle For Equality

History Through Photographs

Due Date: ______________________________

For this assignment, you will examine African-Americans, women, or Native Americans and their struggle for equality. You will create a technology presentation that highlights some of the key events for one of the three groups. You can use Microsoft Powerpoint, Prezi, or Animoto to create your presentation. You will include 8-10 photographs of the events, people, or the movements that have shaped each group’s history.

For each photograph, you must type a 3-4 sentence explanation. In this explanation, you must describe the event and explain why it was significant in the history of that group.

After you explain each photograph, respond to the following question in a 5-7 sentence paragraph.

What historical event do you think was the most significant in your group’s struggle for equality and why?

This assignment will be worth 25 points. You will be graded on the neat and creative way that you present your pictures. You should also look to include a variety of pictures that represent different people over different time periods (as opposed to using eight pictures about the women’s suffrage movement). Your writing responses will be assessed on the accuracy of information you present as well as your thorough explanation of the people and events.

· Part 1 (5 points) – Presentation of pictures

· Part 2 (10 points) – Explanation of events

· Part 3 (10 points) – Final paragraph response

You can choose to research any person or event that you feel is important in the history of your group. You do not need to use any of the examples listed below. This is simply meant to help get you started in your search for the noteworthy events in your group’s history.
