Martin Luther King, Jr. Writing Activity
Hi all! I saw a picture simliar to this online but couldn't find a hard copy to be able to print and use it in my classroom. I took the idea I saw in the picture and put my own little spin on it and created a word document that I could print and share! After reading a Martin Luther book to my students I had them create this adorable little craft and write what they learned about Dr. Martin Luther and wrote what their dream for the world is. ENJOY!

The Color of Friendship Study Guide
This is a short answer guide to help students recognize the racist undertones of the Disney Channel Original Movie "The Color of Friendship." This is a great film to show how racism does not just mean whites judging blacks but also blacks toward whites. Throughout the film the actors tend to grade their language and I have found it useful as a listening activity for ESL students.
