For example, Elvis was singing at this time. These will be shared orally with the class and written on paper to be turned in. The students will be instructed that they must make a picture of their home or neighborhood to be displayed in the hall for all of the school to see. Tell them that they must do their best work, and it will effect their grade. Then pass out the crayons to the children.
Boys can only use yellow and blue, and girls can only use the red and orange.
Instruct them that they can't share, and that they can't complain because nothing will be done about their complaints. After the art is turned in discuss the children's feeling. Discuss the structural and funding differences between the white and black schools at that time of history. Assure students that this assignment gets full credit simply for being done. Remind them that all of the black people followed the boycott after this speech was given.
