It's Never Too Early to Think About MLK Day Assignments

Sometimes as teachers we think, "how do we begin a lesson?"  There is no better way, then using the Dave Letterman's format-a top ten list.

So, here a is a helpful website that gives your students a quick overview of MLK's "I Have A Dream" speech in a top ten ten list.

So facts are well known, such as the march on Washington in 1963 was not the first march planned.  But fact number eight was new to me. Check it out!

Also, this Constitutional Center website has a link to the entire texts of Dr. King's Speech.  This would be a great opportunty for students to view a primary source. 

Finally, please visit the Social Studies Super Store for an execellent, no-prep, close reading of exserpts of Dr. King's speech.  I Have A Dream Speech Close Reading Assignment
