To help commemorate famous nonviolent protests conducted by civil rights demonstrators, you and a group of students will be creating an actual T-shirt that will depict one of the major groups of the non-violent protest movements of the 50’s and 60’s. This can include rights for Women, Native Americans, Students, African Americans, Seniors/Americans with Disabilities, or the Chicano Movement.
Phase I of the T-shirt:
- In class, each student was required to complete the “Civil Rights Gallery Walk” for an individual grade.
- Then, in groups, work together to decide a t-shirt “design”. The design must include the following criteria:
- The design on the front of the shirt will depict a non-violent group (symbols or drawings must be tastefully appropriate and non-offensive) and a slogan. (The slogan may be original or one from the organization)
- On the back, you will include an influential quote from an influential person of your group.
**Phase II of Shirt:
- Students must wear their t-shirt with the rest of the class group to class on Monday February 25th (A-day) & Tuesday February 26th (B-day)
- Then, after our test, you will explain to the rest of the class the significance of your t-shirt. In other words, what your organization is, its purpose, your slogan, your quote, etc.
- If you don’t wear your t-shirt on your designated day, your grade will be affected by a 25 point deduction.
