Instructional Ideas

• Have class members view the resource out of class, select a mentioned person or topic for further research, and return to class to share what they have learned

Classroom Considerations

• If assigning the resource for out-of-class viewing, ensure that all class members have Internet access
• The lack of depth in the explanations makes the resource most appropriate as an introduction to generate interest in the topic

Pros

• Timelines and modern connections are offered for each movement
• Each passage is followed by a reading comprehension question

Cons

• The explanations lack depth and offer few details
