In this activity, students will delve into the concept of invisibility and its personal implications by conducting research on various aspects of the American 1940s. They will use the CRAAP test to evaluate the validity of their sources and collaborate in groups to create a Google Slideshow that highlights their findings.

Learning Targets • I can establish background context for our reading of Invisible Man by conducting historical research. • I can work with a group to complete my portion of the assigned research by working both independently and collaboratively. • I can use the CRAAP test to ensure that the sources I find are valid. • I can work with a group to create a Google Slideshow on the group’s assigned topic in order to share our work with the class. • I can take notes on what my classmates present in order to provide context for the novel we’re about to read.
Group work • In order to create some background context for this text, we are going to do some research. • First, let’s discuss some CRAAP. • Next, break into groups to find FIVE main aspects of your assigned topic. For each main aspect, identify as 2-3 supporting points and one image (use Google Slides). • Topics in the American 1940s: • historical events, • racial dynamics, • Ellison bio, • arts and music, • philosophy of the time/Ellison’s philosophical views • Politics of time
