UBD PROJECT - ILLUSTRATED TIMELINE
CIVIL RIGHTS AND RACE-RELATIONS
DIRECTIONS: Using power-point presentations in your seminars, the library, or home
computers; create an ILLUSTRATED TIMELINE using the terms, key persons, and/or
events from American history to demonstrate your awareness and understanding of civil
rights and race-relations within our nation.
Be sure to address (attempt to answer) the six journalistic questions of who, what, when,
where, why, and how each is relevant towards this era of history. You must include an
appropriate image/graphic of some type on each slide you create. A photo and
description should be sufficient for most slides.
**EACH POWER POINT MUST INCORPORATE AT
LEAST TWO (2) 30 second VIDEO CLIPS FROM THE
ERA covering the topics provided. PRINT OUTS OF
THIS POWER-POINT WILL BE ACCEPTED FOR
REDUCED CREDIT. BURNED CD-Rs and/or
MEMORY STICKS ARE PREFERRED.
Also, each student must include a WORKS CITED slide that identifies at least 3 sources
(textbook, websites, and/or magazines) where they found their info and images/graphics.
Be sure to summarize and not copy/regurgitate the information from your sources onto
your slides. PLAGARISM WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.
GRADING AND EVALUATION:
Each student will be evaluated based on their completion of this project. FAILURE TO
CREATE A WORKS CITED WITH A MINIMUM OF 3 SOURCES, TITLE SLIDE WITH
THE STUDENT’S NAME ON IT, AND INCLUDE IMAGES/GRAPHICS/VIDEO CLIPS
ON EACH INDIVIDUAL SLIDE WILL RESULT IN A MINIMUM OF A 10% DROP IN
THE OVERALL STUDENT GRADE FOR THIS PROJECT.
