We begin with his birth and the path he takes leading to his march – foreshadowing his success and his death. As we progress through this book, we are introduced to Martin’s children and the success he has accomplished so far. However, the death of a black garbageman leads to those who are tired of persecution to stand up for the black community. This community calls for Martin Luther King Junior to stand up and help them achieve what they want – freedom. Days pass on and the great protest march soon approaches. Martin is scared and nervous, but is willing to fight for his people; even if it means death. Martin decides to march, making the protest march a success for colored people alike. However, things take a turn for the worst when Martin is shot and killed just a few days after the march. We then follow the journey Martin Luther King Junior’s wife and children make to honor his great name. ]]> 2020-10-06 15:20:41 UTC https://padlet.com/williamsg5987/pu3hkf6d4t8pkg/wish/807107394 Timeline Creator - http://www.readwritethink.org/files/resources/interactives/timeline_2/ williamsg5987 https://padlet.com/williamsg5987/pu3hkf6d4t8pkg/wish/807128296 Timeline allows students to create a graphical representation of an event or process by displaying items sequentially along a line. Timelines can be organized by time of day, date, or event, and the tool allows users to create a label with short or long descriptive text. Adding an image for each label makes a timeline more visually appealing]]> 2020-10-06 15:25:07 UTC https://padlet.com/williamsg5987/pu3hkf6d4t8pkg/wish/807128296 Image: Concept Map williamsg5987 https://padlet.com/williamsg5987/pu3hkf6d4t8pkg/wish/807144738 2020-10-06 15:28:48 UTC https://padlet.com/williamsg5987/pu3hkf6d4t8pkg/wish/807144738 Field Trip Idea: Holocaust Museum williamsg5987 https://padlet.com/williamsg5987/pu3hkf6d4t8pkg/wish/807151803 lately, I have been noticing that a lot of young students do not remember what the holocaust was. So, I think this field trip would be a great way to help my students remember and understand more about the holocaust. They get to see several images of survivors and Nazi generals, explore replicas and real-life artifacts, and get to read about survivors. Overall, this would be a great place to help my students understand the significance of the Holocaust.]]> 2020-10-06 15:30:28 UTC https://padlet.com/williamsg5987/pu3hkf6d4t8pkg/wish/807151803 Guest Speaker: Holocaust Survivor williamsg5987 https://padlet.com/williamsg5987/pu3hkf6d4t8pkg/wish/807176363 I think it would be a great experience for my future students to actually meet someone who survived the holocaust. They would be able to hear the events in great detail, learn how someone survived, and see how they are today. I think a holocaust survivor would also be a great person to inspire my students to make changes when they see something wrong in their community.]]> 2020-10-06 15:35:59 UTC https://padlet.com/williamsg5987/pu3hkf6d4t8pkg/wish/807176363 Youtube Video: Learning Timelines williamsg5987 https://padlet.com/williamsg5987/pu3hkf6d4t8pkg/wish/807194553 A song that appeals to children and relates to the song Gangnum Style.
