Investigating History:
A Reporter’s Guide Through the Civil Rights Movement (Elementary/Middle School Edition)
Turn your students into investigative journalists. Included free with every school field trip booking, this interactive reporter’s notebook transforms an ordinary museum visit into an active, hands-on learning experience throughout our core exhibition, Rolls Down Like Water.
Designed specifically for upper elementary and middle school learners, each student steps into the role of a reporter gathering facts, analyzing primary sources, and documenting key moments of the American Civil Rights Movement.
- Interactive Gallery Exploration: Guided prompts lead students through major historical milestones, from Jim Crow laws and landmark Supreme Court decisions to the grassroots activism of Ella Baker and the March on Washington.
- Critical Thinking & Reflection: Thought-provoking questions challenge students to analyze civil rights strategies, examine personal courage, and draft their own front-page headlines summarizing the movement’s impact.
- Structured Learning Framework: Features post-visit graphic organizers that break down complex history into clear components: Problems, Goals, Resistance, and Wins.
- Ready for the Classroom: Serves as a tangible take-home artifact for educators to build upon with post-trip discussions, writing assignments, and social studies projects.
All guides and pencils are complimentary and provided to registered student groups upon arrival.
