Maya Angelou / Black Civil Rights research

 

You will conduct a very brief research into one of the following topics. You will be expected to provide the class with a brief introduction to the topic. You will deliver this as a 2-3 minute presentation, with a supporting powerpoint or handout. Your powerpoint or handout will need to be uploaded to this site, under the headings below. (I will show you how to do this).

 

Once you know your topic consider answering the following questions:

 

When did it happen?

Who was involved?

Why was it important to the Black Civil Rights movement?

How does it link to the poetry of Maya Angelou?
