What about this...
By Carrie

Clip to ScrapBook   
How about doing a simulation on Dr. King's life. Have students participate in a march and have students act out specific parts of his life. Depending on how many students you have in your class can determine how you seperate
the life stages. I think that the students will greatly enjoy the activities. You could even have the students participate in a march. It doesn't have to even be on civil rights, it could be on something that represents something. Have some students oppose and some support the idea. They could have a debate. As long as they are engaged in the life and importance of Martin Luther
King Jr. You could even pose the question how would you feel if....? There is also a lot of children's literature on him. I hope that this helps. It might be a little easier for older studnets but I think that 1st graders could gain alot as well.
