Abstract
The purpose of this article is to assist social studies teachers with integrating the Jigsaw technique to the Civil Rights movement.

It is the sincere hope of this author that this sample lesson will ultimately assist educators in the creation of stronger units dealing with civil rights. An overview of the Jigsaw Technique, review of the Mississippi Burning Murders and teaching strategies are provided.
