This document outlines a week-long lesson plan focused on Martin Luther King Jr. and his influential words. Students will watch videos about Dr. King's life and speeches, read a short biography, and analyze important quotes from his works. They will then select a quote, explain its meaning and relevance today, and create a poster sharing their quote and insights. The goal is for students to understand Dr. King's message and how it applies to their own lives.
