Quick Ideas for Using the Video with Students: 
1. Use the video as part of your students’ study of America’s civil rights movement or other events/topics related to segregation and discrimination. What did they know about the Little Rock 9 before viewing the video? What do they see as the impact of that event on American history? 
2. Use the video as a starting point to your study of the Civil Rights Movement. Discuss the events and its impacts and use student discussion to lead in to more study of what occurred prior to this moment and what it occurred after as the Civil Rights Movement progressed. Develop an activity that has students report on other people/persons who were a &#8220;first&#8221; in the Civil Rights and what societal changes may have occurred as a result. What was the significance of the “first”?

Zugunruhe Experience: Leave the Nest, Spread Your Wings, Soar the World
The word Zugunruhe is a term derived from the German language that is best used to describe anxious behavior found within migratory birds seeking to take flight. Many of us have felt this same feeling at some point in our lives when things feel stagnant and a change needs to happen. At Zugunruhe Experience, we are the change that students have been seeking.
Zugunruhe Experience does not just offer student travel programs for some students, we offer student travel programs for every student.
