Introduction:
Explain what your project is about and what you are going to discuss in it

Main section 1
Identify at least three features of your theme (with two facts about each
feature)
In the passage below, the key features are in blue and the supporting facts
are in green

Civil Rights activists started to become more organized in their protests.
They banded together with the Montgomery Bus Boycott which showed what
the economic power of the Black Community was. They also began to
organise things such as the sit-ins and Freedom Rides.
The leaders became more and more well known. Martin Luther King won the
Nobel Peace Prize and he was also seen on the television by many
Americans who had not seen him before.
As the protests grew, the government became more involved and took a
bigger part. They helped support the students at Little Rock as well as
passing the Civil Rights Act of 1964

Main section 2
Identify at least two causes or impacts of your theme

One reason why the Scots were successful at the Battle of Stirling Bridge
was the fact that the English commanders were unprepared. They were not
sure of where they would cross and one of them was late to the battle.

Another reason they were successful was because of the tactics used by
Moray and Wallace. They waited until the right moment to attack in order to
ensure that they destroyed enough of the enemy to make sure that they
didnt counter-attack
