Student Activism Research

Today you will be conducting research on student activism at various points in history. Make a copy of the chart, and then enter your research.

This is an individual project, even if someone else is working on the same time period.

At the end of class on Friday, upload the work you have done so far to the turnitin slot "Day One Research"

Try to find a student activist. If you can not find a student from your time period, you may research an adult. But try to find a student! You can search by time period, or by movement. As a starting point, here is the list of movements we came up with in class.
