Teaching Ideas: |
Groups of learners may want to develop summaries (use Herringbone) of individual incidents for compare-contrast purposes (use matrices). Other comparisons might focus on these events vs. other examples of civil disobedience. Learners may want to speculate about whether such tactics would work in today's world. |
