What educators are saying

My students love the game feel of Boom. I love the instant feedback of each item to assess understanding.

Description

Are you looking for a resource that traces the history of the civil rights movement from the arrival of the first Africans to the present? Each slide of these BOOM Cards includes a non-fiction text tracing important events like the Emancipation Proclamation, the Tuskegee Airmen and the Children's Crusade. There are text dependent questions throughout to measure students' understanding of vocabulary and concepts. This resource will give your students a deeper, more nuanced understanding of the Civil Rights Movement.

These Boom Cards trace the history of the Civil Rights Movement from the inception of slavery in 1619 through key moments in the 1960's. A non-fiction text spans most of the cards, with 4 multiple choice questions interwoven in the text. There are also two drag and drop comprehension activities and one short answer (which must be hand scored). The questions are based on released items from PARCC and SBAC and cover vocabulary, author's purpose, and inference. Real photos are used to help students deepen their understanding of these historic events. The text provides an overview of history to spark interest in further research. These cards are interactive with sounds and images, and students will love dragging and dropping and choosing the correct answers.

Topics Covered in the text are:

  • The arrival of the first Africans in Virginia in 1619.
  • The Emancipation Proclamation
  • Jim Crow laws
  • the Tuskegee Airmen
  • Brown vs. Topeka Board of Education and school segregation
  • Rosa Parks and the Montgomery bus boycott
  • sit-ins at Woolworths
  • the Children's Crusade
  • the March on Washington
