Dr. Martin Luther King was born on January 15, 1929, in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. He was a minister and a prominent civil rights activist. His life is celebrated in all 50 states in the US on the third Monday of January of each year.
In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King’s life and accomplishments, we’ve put together this lesson plan containing several interactive lessons that will engage your students.
The lessons can also be used during Black History Month, which takes place in February in the US and Canada. The lessons are interactive and align with curriculum standards that support group discussion and interaction. Additional resources for extending these lessons are listed at the end of the post.
There are two lessons adapted for students with special needs who are non-readers or who have limited reading abilities.
In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King’s work, many young people participate in volunteer projects in their communities. Encourage your class to give back in meaningful ways!
