Martin Luther King Jr. lived a short life fighting for equal rights as a leader of the African American civil rights movement. This book is a biography of King’s life from childhood until his death in 1968. Throughout King’s life, he was a great man who never gave up on his dreams. In 1964 he won the Nobel Prize for his great works. From this book, kids will learn how king taught people to love, to be honest, and to work hard. Martin Luther King Jr. has encouraged many people to chase their dreams and to never give up.
After reading this book with my students, I would have them research Martin Luther King Jr. life in depth. They would then create a Glogster (http://www.glogster.com/) on King’s life. In this Glogster, they would be required to create a timeline outlining the major events in his life. They would also have to summarize one of King’s speeches, including where and when it took place. When completed, the students will share their Glogster with the class.
