IB 30/35

We started a documentary from the PBS series "American Experience: 1964" today. I gave you a film study sheet to go along with the video that you need to complete for Wednesday. We'll continue this documentary tomorrow. Please remember that you are writing a Paper 3 on the Civil Rights Movement unit on Thursday.
