For Students:
Students get a small taste of what segregation feels just entering the site. They can listen to Dr. King’s speeches or read some of his other writings at Remember Segregation. Simply powerful.
Watch a video on Dr. King, fill out
a KWL graphic organizer, take a quiz, or study relevant vocabulary at BrainPop
Play the “It’s Not Fair Game” to
learn about and experience prejudice first hand! Fun- teaches students MLK related vocabulary while skewing the score to discover how it feels when "it's not fair!"
For Teachers:
Teachersfirst (a great FREE
teacher resource page) has links to many different MLK resources including video
links, lesson ideas, materials, and interactive sites.

MakeBeliefsComix.com has posted a new writing printable for Martin Luther King Day at http://www.makebeliefscomix.com/Digital-Write-Ables/Rev_Martin_Luther_King_Jr.php
ReplyDeleteIt asks: Imagine that you could tell the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. what he means to you and our country. What would you say to him?
The MLK graphic prompt is part of a new MakeBeliefsComix writing prompt feature called Digital Write-Ables which allows users to use their computer keyboard and write stories directly on the screen as they fill in the writing prompt. They then can print out their writings. Their efforts to complete the Write-Able can then become the first step in writing longer essays or stories on the same subject. The Write-Ables can also be used with students enrolled in literacy and English-As-Second Language (ESL, ESOL) programs and provide an educational resource for teaching language arts.
Thanks, Sandra! These are great resources! I met you at the NCSS. I was the teacher presenting kente cloth with Primary Source. :)
ReplyDeleteMarcy, I still use those resources and will be traveling to Africa this summer!
