Analyzing the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is a good way for students to understand the impact of the entire movement and the effects it had on the history that followed. In this activity, students will create a spider map that answers the 5 Ws: who, what, when, where, and why. Their answers should be researched, and the illustration they provide should help summarize the answer to each question.
