After generating research questions rated to segregation, groups are given a primary source document (Jim Crow Laws, Black Codes, Plessy v. Ferguson, etc.) and craft a presentation that details the key elements of their assigned document. After the presentations, individuals use their notes to respond in writing to one of six questions relating to social justice, equality, and civil disobedience.
