Today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day in America.   It’s the perfect day to show your students his beautifully written and spoken “I Have a Dream” speech (click that link for audio, text, and video of the speech).

There are many lesson plans on Martin Luther King and civil rights online – far too many for me to screen for quality.  Just Google “Martin Luther King lesson plans” to find what might suit your needs.  If you have a favorite resource, please do share it with us in the comments.

American Rhetoric, the site where I found the Martin Luther King, Jr. speech, is worth surfing through to listen to the other 5,000+ speeches on the site.  A good place to start:  Top 100 Speeches (Dr. Martin Luther King’s is the #1 speech).

    I doubt there is another speech more famous than Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream.” Though, I think the best speech I have ever heard was Steve Jobs speech to the graduating class when he was just recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

Also, it was a hassle packing up the baby and toddler to commute the school kids from two different school locations, … Read More about Going from Public School to Home School? Here’s My Advice
