For the Week of January 12

Welcome, Third Graders!

Today we will be working to create a slide for a class powerpoint about Martin Luther King, Jr.

FIRST, we'll get a piece of paper with a date listed on it to research: What happened in his life on this date that was so important?

SECOND, we'll use this link: MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. to find out!

THIRD, we'll WRITE down what happened on that piece of paper.

FOURTH, we'll open up POWER POINT to begin creating ONE slide for that date.

We'll be doing all kinds of things to our slide:

adding an important date and event
photographs
citing the website where you found the photograph
adding voice over to your slide (if you have time) using the microphone

When you finish, you will need to save the ONE slide to your teachers folder in a file called, "Martin Luther King."

Below are a few links where you may want to look for photos:

1. The King Center - hear his famous, "I have a dream..." speech

2. Wikipedia - MLK - read about MLK/find information

3. Civil Rights Museum

4. Scholastic's Site - many links for MLK

5. Virutal Tour of Martin Luther King's home
