Lesson on 26th February: Martin Luther King
We started on a project about Martin Luther King (MLK) and the Civil Rights movement in America today.
Each of you had a sheet and you used some books to find out information about MLK, what he believed, what he said and what he did. These will be really useful when we come to starting our project properly next week. Finish for homework if you did not do so in lesson.
Homework:
A reminder that if you haven’t yet handed in your homework on Apartheid then I need it by next lesson. If I don’t get it by then you’ll be expected to come back at lunchtime to do it.
In addition to finishing the sheet about MLK, today’s homework was to find out more about his interest in civil rights. What motivated him to do what he did?
- Was it his religious beliefs?
- Was it his social conscience?
- Was it his sense of justice?
Whatever you can find out will be very helpful for the project. For information try:
