Learning About Martin Luther King


This week, as part of our literacy stations, members extended their learning in the Education Center by exploring Martin Luther King.  Members read the biography of Martin Luther King and answered reading comprehension questions.

Members also created Martin Luther King posters that highlighted facts that they learned about him and we displayed these in the Education Center.  Members then read Martin Luther King's I Have A Dream speech and then created their own I Have A Dream Poems.

Members extended their learning further by reading the poem The Crayon Box That Talked, by Shane Derolf.  Students compared and contrasted the similarities in the poem with the facts they learned about Martin Luther King.

Overall, members did an outstanding job this week.  Keep up the great work!
