Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Students in 1L have begun a new social studies unit on Martin Luther King Jr. this month. We have read stories and poems, sang songs, and watched videos detailing his biography and the history of the time in which he and other important Americans (Rosa Parks and Ruby Bridges) lived. To extend learning at home, students may watch the video titled, "Martin Luther King Jr." on Brainpop Jr. this week for homework!
Students have been really interested in this unit, likely because they are hearing key vocabulary words (peaceful protest, march, nonviolence, injustice, etc.) and making connections with current events. Your students have lots of questions about these issues and happenings. Please encourage dinner table debate. Share your opinions and let them share theirs.
Love,
Mrs. Lazazzero
