Martin Luther King Jr. Assembly!

This fun and original assembly is designed to teach children all about Martin Luther King Jr., including covering:

-Who Martin Luther King Jr. was;

-The world he was raised in and what he stood for;

-His actions as a civil rights activist;

-What he achieved;

-Why we still celebrate Martin Luther King Jr Day today.

The slides are visually-engaging and well-presented, and the subject matter is tailored to the interests and needs of young people. It includes links to well-chosen videos to emphasise/ reinforce key points, in addition to song suggestions and interactive activities to involve the audience.

There is enough here for a 25-30 minute assembly (it is 17 slides long), but of course you can cut bits out/ tailor to your own individual needs. No further resources are required, everything that you need to present the assembly is included. I would say that the assembly is ideally pitched at KS2, but both KS3 and KS1 would be able to access it with only minor vocabulary/ language adaptations.

Hope that you find this useful!
