February is African American History Month. We will get a headstart on our exercise by watching a documentary.
Objectives
~Students will understand political movements involve children as well as adults.
~Students will understand children of all ages have the power to make a difference in the world.
To view the documentary, "The Children's March": Set up your chairs the same way we did for "Freedom Writers" . . . put them back right before bell rings.

READ BEFORE VIEWING DOCUMENTARY:
As most of you are finishing "To Kill A Mockingbird", I would like you to think about the setting of the book:
Maycomb, Alabama -- during the Great Depression. In Chapter 1, Scout describes Maycomb as a "tired, old town where people moved slowly."
The documentary you are going to watch this week takes place in Birmingham, Alabama in 1963. Be mindful of any similarities you may notice in Birmingham -- and in the setting of "To Kill A Mockingbird".
