Understanding the causes of conflicts may help us resolve ...



|Introduction for Teachers |

| |

|The Seattle Civil Rights and Labor History website offers an excellent set of resources to use with the OSPI “Causes of Conflict” CBA. Because the |

|purpose of the CBA is to analyze sources--not to collect them--our website is an excellent gateway for oral histories, primary source documents, and |

|secondary source essays for students to use in developing their persuasive paper. Additionally, the novel format of oral histories will help students |

|become and remain engaged. |

| |

|Your students will need access to a lab with streaming video for the research portion of the CBA. |
