This Civil Rights Movement Group Research Project is aligned with the common core standards for ELA and requires students to work collaboratively to create a research project. It is the perfect way to introduce the topic in a history class, or to familiarize students with the the Civil War before reading related literature.

The final project includes a five paragraph research paper written and cited in MLA format and a PowerPoint presentation that is presented to class.
