 Massive Resistance to school integration was an important part of Virginia history, but it is often not taught or it's glossed over quickly. Students will watch actual newsclips and then write a factual paragraph about Massive Resistance in VA.    In this lesson, students will explore the Robert Russa Moton Historical Site on the Civil Rights Trail website. Then they will watch original news clips of different events during the Massive Resistance Movement in Virginia. As they watch the clips they will complete a graphic organizer on the 5 Ws. They will use the information from their graphic organizer to create a well-written, complete, factual paragraph.      This lesson is designed for upper primary grades but can be used for middle school also. It covers Virginia History and US History II SOLs and English writing and research SOLs.     Feel free to modify this lesson and its accompanying documents as needed for your classes.
