Process

Step One: Working as a team of journalists, decide which reporter is assigned which story to investigate. For your first stories, you will choose from the following options:

Jim Crow Laws
The Scottsboro Boys
Emmett Till
Desegregation of Central High School in Little Rock

Step Two: Once each journalist has received his or her assignment, investigate your story by following each of the leads provided for your story, and produce a journalistic article providing in-depth news coverage for your audience. Also be sure to gather visual and auditory evidence (photographs, videos, interview clips, etc.) to include in the presentation you will compose with your team members.
