Description

Looking for an engaging activity to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. or MLK Day? Your students will enjoy learning more about the life and achievements of this civil rights leader through a biography summary activity. In a user-friendly, graphic organizer template, students will summarize the life and biography of MLK. It’s no-prep for you, but quality content for your students. Make research fun and enjoyable with this biography summary webquest.

What is Included:

A detailed page of teacher instructions.
A biography summary template in pdf format to print for student completion.
Access to the same product in Google Drive format for 1:1 schools or a trip to the lab.
Helpful links for students to use when researching.

Ideas For Use:

There are numerous ways to incorporate historical biography summaries into your curriculum.

Individual - Assign the biography you are studying in class. Have each person research and complete individually for class homework.
History Museum - With the biography bundles, such as the Industrial Revolution Bundle, assign each student one of the 10 -15 included biographies. After completion, have each student post their completed biographies on the classroom wall like a museum for all to see. Then, print off the included “gallery-walk” reflection template. Students will complete the “gallery walk” template by reading the other completed, posted biographies. This option allows students to learn even more historical biographies.
Sub Plans - This resource is such an excellent activity for that day when you can’t be in the classroom. Your sub will appreciate this content-rich resource.
