1950s & 1960s WebQuest #3 and Videos

Chapter 25 Section 4 Quiz (click here)
You can take it as many times as you want, and you can use google but you cannot have someone help you or use the blue worksheet. There is no penalty for retakes and it will report the highest score to me.

Here are two video playlist from YouTube. Look over the playlists and watch videos that interest you. You don't have to watch all of the videos (of course) but stay on the playlists.

50s and 60s Movies. Mostly trailers for movies set in the decades but some movies from that time too.

1950s and 1960s Documentaries, fashion and bios.

Looking for ideas on how to dance? Check out the Hairspray Live website (scroll down for videos).

March On Washington, 1963

We will be reenacting the 1963 March on Washington. Every group will be assigned a part of the march. Before we can choose parts, you will need to read more about the march online and choose two or three parts of the march that you'd like to reenact with your group. (See links below)

We’ll divide up the parts and each group will create a short video (between 6 and 16 seconds!) of their segment. These are serous reenactments and must be respectful to the participants. Videos should have no student names or laughing.

You may use a camera I have in class or you can film after school with your Smartphone. You can use apps like Vine or Instagram, the native video app on your phone, or a camera that can shoot video. You can always use apps to edit like these (choose the free ones), but it's not necessary.

These are not to be posted online by you but rather emailed to me at school. Emails with the videos as attachments must have your block and a topic!
