Martin Luther King Day 2008
by Samuel Sennott
Martin Luther King Day is one of the most important holidays of the year. I have the speech on vinyl and remember the first time I played it and the chills down to the spine. The power of YouTube brings both the audio and video to you and your students.

sam,
there is an MLK Timeline activity on the social studies page of my alternate assessment wiki:

oops, sorry, can’t even spell my own last name…
What a great idea, especially for MLK day. Kids and teachers can create PPT presentations about Martin Luther King Jr. or say what they’re thankful for regarding the freedoms we now have today for all people…or maybe for older students list things we still need to work on in our country for all people….good conversation starter or plain good project tool for students.
