Hi Team Chavez/Vera Cruz members,
I know that the extra miles worksheets are the same ones that have been in that binder since last semester; so, I created this blog for you all to have a space to share your thoughts.
For your first post:
* Write about a civil rights leader or civil rights activist. We are Team Chavez/Vera Cruz and we need to learn about the many important people in history who have done a lot of great things to help us have the rights we have today. At the end of the year, I would hope that you all would have learned about some amazing leaders who you may not get the chance to learn about in your regular school day.
Here are some examples of people to look up: Malcolm X, Yuri Kochiyama, Angela Davis, Dolores Huerta, Jose Rizal, but do not be limited to this list!!! Feel free to look up other civil rights activists and leaders!
Here are some that we have learned a little about in our AIM team, but we could always learn more about them: Cesar Chavez, Philip Vera Cruz, Rosa Parks, Fred Korematsu.
Happy blogging!
