18 Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Evaluation Conclusion Introduction The Great Migration A WebQuest for High School United States History Designed by Hannah McConnell Email: hmcconnell01@bellarmine.eduhmcconnell01@bellarmine.edu Last Updated on June 12, 2012. Based on the template from The Webquest PageThe Webquest Page

19 Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Evaluation Conclusion Learners This lesson is based on the Kentucky Core Content for high school social studies. It falls into the Jefferson County Public School curriculum map schedule [see map for prior requiredsee map for prior required knowledge knowledge] during the unit “The Roaring Twenties.” It helps to answer the question: “How were the 1920’s defined by rapid cultural shifts?” This lesson is easily adaptable for students with special needs. Depending on student physical and/or mental ability they may need extra assistance. Students may work with a partner or a larger group during the whole research process, instead of just during the collaboration portion. Some students may also need be read to, provided with a shorter research assignment, or be given more time to complete the assignment.

20 Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Evaluation Conclusion Standards  SS-HS-5.1.1 Students will use a variety of tools (e.g., primary and secondary sources, data, artifacts) to analyze perceptions and perspectives (e.g., gender, race, region, ethnic group, nationality, age, economic status, religion, politics, geographic factors) of people and historical events in the modern world (1500 A.D. to present) and United States History (Reconstruction to present).  SS-HS-4.3.1 Students will describe the movement and settlement patterns of people in various places and analyze the causes of that movement and settlement and the impacts in the modern world and United States.

21 Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Evaluation Conclusion Process For general information see the student process pages.process This lesson should take several class periods. I would provide at least one class for individual student research, one class for collaboration and planning, and one to three class periods for completion of the project. Working in a computer lab is the ideal situation for this project. However, if computers are limited students can complete the initial research in groups. The main focus of this assignment should be students use of multiple types of sources to create one product. Most of the lesson is fairly straightforward, but students may need assistance during “Step 5” when they are asked to do individual research.

22 Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Evaluation Conclusion Resources In order to complete this lesson you will need: Computers for each student or group A flash drive for each student or group Computers with audio capability Computers with word processing capability At least one video camera Important Resources: http://www.digitalhistory.uh.edu/ http://www.loc.gov/index.html Staff: Teacher must have basic computer skills Parent/teacher-aide assistance (2-3 people) is beneficial, but not necessary

23 Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Evaluation Conclusion Evaluation The evaluation section states the basic requirements of thisevaluation assignment. It is necessary for students to become acquainted with all types of sources, so the general requirements are important. The way in which the students use and interpret the information that they collect will determine their understanding of different types of sources as well as their general understanding of the “Great Migration.”

24 Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Evaluation Conclusion This lesson provides students with the opportunity to develop their online research skills. This project gives students the opportunity to explore an increasing number of databases, websites, and online libraries. As technology continues to play a more dominant role in society, students need to perfect their online skills. This lesson is also significant in a more traditional sense. The value of historical photographs, letters, documents, and other resources are important in students understanding of history. These resources can make history come to life and become relatable in ways in which a traditional textbook cannot. Finally, this lesson provides information on a significant geographic shift that continues to affect the United States today.

25 The “Great Migration”

26 The Great Migration was the widespread migration of African Americans in the 20th century from rural communities in the South to large cities in the North and West. At the turn of the 20th century, the vast majority of black Americans lived in the Southern states. From 1916 to 1970, during this Great Migration, it is estimated that some six million black Southerners relocated to urban areas inrelocated the North and West.
