April 15



We finished watching the PBS documentary from the American Experience series called "1964" today. Please remember that your film study sheet answers for "1964" are due tomorrow.


I moved on to 1968 for the most part today (and beyond), because we started looking at the Nixon administration. I'll continue my lecture on Richard Nixon tomorrow. Please remember that you have your Paper 3 on the U.S. Civil Rights Movement on Thursday, April 17th. Please check out the past IB exam questions below. Please review your IB command terms!

Here are some possible questions from previous IB Exams:
  • What were the successes of the civil rights movement from 1950-1964 and how were those successes obtained?
  • What were the successes and failures of the civil rights movement between 1954 and 1964?
  • Explain the development of the civil rights movement in the 1950’s.
  • To what degree had it achieved its objectives by the time of the March on Washington in 1963?
  • How were the philosophies and tactics of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X different and what caused those differences?
  • Why had the civil rights movement come to dominate national attention by 1964?
  • What impact did the Black Power Movement have on the Civil Rights Movement?
  • Compare and contrast the strategies of Martin Luther King and Malcolm X.

I gave you some class time to work on some textbook work from your History of the Americas textbook. You were to read pages 38-47, and complete the chart of page 44 which asked you to draw comparisons between Simon Bolivar, Jose de San Martin and George Washington. I also introduced the fake Facebook page assignment, and the long-term "shadow research" assignment on Latin American countries.
