Resistance to Reconstruction: Sharecropping, KKK, Jim Crow Laws
I found that students lacked a true understanding of the institutionalized racism and social/political/economic challenges African Americans faced in the 100 years between the end of slavery and the first breakthroughs of the Civil Rights Movement. To provide more context, I created this assignment explaining sharecropping, the KKK, Jim Crow Laws, Poll Taxes, Literacy Tests, and Grandfather Clauses. It is very informative and great for class discussion afterwards and linking to modern times.

Gerrymandering Puzzles!
The purpose of these materials is to allow your students to try the idea of Gerrymandering for themselves! This lesson goes best with my FREE powerpoint detailing the history of gerrymandering and how it has been used to divide and conquer. There are many ways you could use these worksheets but I suggest at the very least, as a part of your lesson, that you check out CGP Grey's youtube channel and show your students his segment on gerrymandering --> (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mky11UJb9A

Big Sky, Big Money Frontline PBS researches Political Campaign Financing
This Frontline video explores the use of excessive money in Political campaigns today. It is really current and delves into Super Pacs and 501 4c groups. They interview Democrats and Republicans involved in these activities. It hits home the fact that the general public doesn't know the difference between candidate ads and issue ads. Nor does the public realize that outside groups are spending more on campaigning than local candidates and political parties! It questions the decision from the

It is a great lesson to use when you have to do something mandated for Constitution Day, as it covers the political process. This les
