Description
Martin Luther King Jr. (Integrated Math, Reading, and Writing Activities Included!)
Students receive a letter from Martin Luther King Jr. giving facts about his life and instructing students to create a podium that he will use to deliver his famous "I Have a Dream" speech. A fun and engaging MLK Day activity!
Includes writing pages for students to write about their dreams. Math activities are included as well that cover geometry standards including 2D and 3D shapes, shape attributes (faces, edges, and vertices), as well as area and perimeter.
The Engineering Design Process:
Students plan, design, and execute their own ideas. After they have completed their activity, there is time for reflection on what worked and what didn't. They follow the six step Engineering Design Process: Ask, Imagine, Plan, Create, Experiment, Improve.
Amazing resource for STEM club, STEM teachers, elementary librarians, parents who love hands-on learning, and elementary teachers who want to create a hands-on educational environment in their classroom! This is perfect as a beginning of the year activity or end of the year STEM challenge!
