Celebrating Martin Luther King Jr.

For the past two weeks, we have been learning a lot about Martin Luther King Jr! Each student created a basic timeline of his life, and some students worked in small groups to create a more detailed timeline

We also did a MLK webquest, completed some writing prompts about MLK, read some short stories about his life and legacy and finally, took a post assessment to demonstrate what we had learned. 

Students made some wonderful connections and asked many higher level thinking questions about MLK. Nearly every student finished a Google presentation about his life as well. 

Learning About Martin Luther King Jr.

As part of a Social Studies unit, my class learned about Martin Luther King Jr. 

Students completed a webquest, took a virtual tour of his childhood home, did research and created timelines. 

Students also had a spelling list devoted to MLK and many chose to present what they had learned to the class. Watch the video below to see a montage of some of the awesome presentations!
