Segregation WebQuest

Introduction
How would you feel if you had to walk to school every day, regardless of the weather? How would you feel if there was a school bus, which took students to a school down the street from you, but you could not ride it? How would you feel if your school was falling apart, while the other school received new buildings and materials? It would make you pretty angry wouldn't it? That is how the characters of Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry must have felt. You are about to explore how, when, where, and why segregation happens. You will learn that it is not just in our history, but many other histories around the world.

The Task
You and your group members will be creating a definition of segregation. This does not mean a few sentences written dictionary style. Be as creative as you like. You will first come up with what you think segregation means now. Then you will research and write about what it is. Finally, your group will come up with a creative way to define segregation. You can use poetry, collages, paintings, stories etc. Good luck!

  1. Segregation: I feel that it means exluding anyone type of person/ peoples, or things from the main community. It making them do things differently from the main body of the community. segregation is where the people that the main body feels is different are subject to taunts, physical abuse and verbal abuse. These people are made to do things they don't want to do because they are forced by the main body of peoples. That is what i think segregation is

  3. Segregation: The practice of keeping ethnic, racial, religious, or gender groups separate, especially by enforcing the use of separate schools, transportation, housing, and other facilities, and usually discriminating against a minority group.

  4. Segregation is the word we use to talk about when people who are different are excluded. This word is an awful word to my ears. But the word doesn’t just seem to be used for race much, anymore. The word can mean to exclude anyone who is different, whether or not they are the same race as you.

    We like to say that we have moved on, and we have, but we still have a ways to go. We still are segregated, but some people just don’t see it, or some just look the other way. Some choose to fight it, and sometimes, some progress is made.

    There is still segregation; it’s just towards different people now. Segregation can just mean excluding someone from a group, for any reason; it doesn’t have to be their race.
