Below is an example of a finished map, except for the illustrations:

AVID Civil Rights Equity - Equality Presentation

The Venn Diagram Below should guide your research.  You are to learn about CURRENT Civil Rights / Equality / Equity issues in America.

Your presentation should include how Equality and Equity are related to each issue and how they both intertwine with Civil Rights issues in America today.

Finally, you need to include your opinion on the matter.  If you talk about 2 or 3 current issues in modern America, you need to include an "INFORMED" opinion about what we could do to rectify (make better) those situations.

They might be issues that apply to only one or a few states and you could use other states (that don't have the issues) as examples of what those states could do differently.  They might also be issues that apply to our entire country, the way a system or institution works, and you could use other countries as examples of how we could do things better/differently.

This should be a 2-3 minute presentation where you explore 2-3 modern civil rights issues, how they relate to equality AND equity, and finally, what we could do to make these issues better.

Final Colonies Project

We read, listened to, watched, and learned a great deal of historical content over the last seven weeks.  Your job is to find examples of the following themes from what we've studied.  It can be as far back as Columbus and Spain, or as recent as all of the English colonies being finalized and settled.  

You are to have one example of each of the following themes:

Cooperation, Conflict, Interdependence, perspective, and migration.  After you come up with an example for each of those, you are to choose three more examples (pick any of the 5 themes you want).

Once you have your 8 examples of themes, you are to do one of the following:

Create a comic-strip-like poster with an image explaining your example and 1-2 sentences in the box written properly as a brief explanation of what is happening.

OR

Write 8 paragraphs.  Each paragraph should be a detailed explanation of your example and why it applies to your theme (4-5 sentences long).
