Objective: 2.H.1.2 Identifying contributions of historical
figures (community, state, nation, and world) through varioius genres
Learning Target:
I can identify one contribution Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. made for our nation.
This was a continuation of a previous lesson
introducing Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and a few of his contributions to our
nation. After reading, discussing, and
sharing information about who he was, his life and why we would consider Dr.
King a historical figure, students were asked to view and listen to his famous
"I Have a Dream" speech. After watching and listening ,students
were guided through critical thinking.
Small groups used graphic organizers to determine the main topic,
details, and what they viewed as Dr. King's contribution to our country through
this famous speech.
Information from small groups was shared in whole
group setting and graphic organizers were collected and checked.
The activity and lesson was successful. Now that my classroom has a wireless
connection, for future lessons I will pull the video up on an iPad and use a
projector to ensure better visibility for students.
