Story of Emmett Till (Black History: Civil Rights, Segregation, Jim Crow)
This prezi tells the story of Emmett Till, a young black boy who was viciously murdered in the Jim Crow south and whose confessed murderers were freed by an all-white jury. I use it as part of my introduction to To Kill a Mockingbird, but it would be great for any novel that deals with social justice, a history class, or a discussion of what sorts of events inspired the Civil Rights Movement (Rosa Parks cited Emmett Till as a reason that she refused to give up her seat on the bus).

Alexander Pope's "The Rape of the Lock"; A NEED-TO-KNOW Handout
This handout focuses on what your students, especially those college-bound or in college, need to know about Pope’s “The Rape of the Lock.”
Its fill-in-the-blanks format, largely text-based, has your students analyze the historical background of the poem, its themes, structure, mock-epic genre, and stylistic features.
The handout begins by stressing that “rape” in the title meant “theft” in Pope’s time, not that horrible crime in its modern sense, which does not occur in the poem.
