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.

Philadelphia Constitutional Convention Skit Play Student Engagement GUARANTEED
This play/skit is perfect for any middle school or high school student learning about the framing of the US constitution. (Several main characters have multiple lines, while other characters have just one line or two so this can accommodate all sorts of different personalities in your classroom) How the delegates there squabbled with each other almost every day for 4-5 months. Not unlike our present day government leaders. It was (to coin a phrase in today's vernacular) a BIG HOT MESS EXPRESS.
