The Task
Your task will be to write a dramatized narrative as either the spectator or a participant of one of the historical events covered in this webquest during the Civil Rights Movement.
A narrative is a written account of connected events; a story. For this topic you will be evaluating and analyzing primary and secondary resources on four different events. Using these resources you are to create a written narrative that could be read out loud as if you were a participant in one of the events, or a witness to one of the events.
The narrative should include a date, emotions that you are feeling, descriptions about what took place pre, post or during the historical event. You will have majority of the information so keep the facts straight, but it is a dramatization so be creative, really become the individual and try to think what it would be like if you were actually there.
In other words, your narrative would be how you would explain the event if someone were to ask you about it. Please use the following example of a interview from a December 7th, 1941 eye witness, to help you understand what is expected.
