Martin Luther King Report

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."- Martin Luther King Jr. 

Most people have off on Martin Luther King. You might think teachers would enjoy this day but in most cases, we are catching up on paperwork and grades.

On the third Monday of January, we honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. For all his achievements. Dr. King was a minister who advocated the use of nonviolent means to end racial segregation.

Last week, my students were reading and listening to biographies and videos about the late Dr. King.

Here is the list of the resources:

At the end of the week, they complied interesting and important facts. They made a paper doll of Dr. King using tactile paper and wikistixs to help with his figure and clothing. Next, they had to answer fill in the blank questions. These bubbles are also outline in wikistixs and some have braille labels.

At the end of the week, each student had to share one fact that they learned. This was a great way for my students to get in front of their peers and present their work!
