An Analysis of Jim Crow Laws and their Effects on Race Relations

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

First graders analyze the role of the Jim Crow laws on race relations. As a class, they are segregated based on the color shirt they have or some other simple criteria and wear either a square or circle sticker representing the majority and minority. They read the story of an African-American who is the first to attend an all white school and write a response to end the lesson.
