Full Description
Using the rich history detailed by the authors of The Educational Lockout of African Americans in Prince Edward County, Virginia (1959-1964): Personal Accounts and Reflections by Dr. Terence Hicks and Dr. Abul Pitre as a backdrop, this instructional guide engages educational leaders, teachers, students, and parents in the teaching and learning process by structuring opportunities to discuss issues of racial segregation, Jim Crow laws, and select restraints faced by African Americans living in this community. Using this guide as a part of the instructional set will help educational leaders and teachers develop warm-up activities, research ideas, vocabulary boosters, hands-on projects, team-building ideas, technology-enhanced connections, culminating activities, and cross-curriculum connections. Teachers will also find reflective journal pages and rubrics for key assessments and direct associations to the Virginia State Department of Education Standards.
