“Mapping Martin Luther King, Jr.”

You should also provide facilities to your students such as history books and internet access; as students learn about states that are historically significant in the life of Martin Luther King, Jr.
“Be treated equally” lesson plan
This is a very creative lesson plan that was submitted by MB Farris on the A to Z Teacher Recipe website. The lesson, which is designed for hires, helps students to understand what it means to deal with prejudice. For the lesson, you should bring the treatise to your students and a book about Martin Luther King, Jr. to read to your class. MB Farris using the peanut butter smash platform and the Happy Birthday to Martin Luther King book. You would hand out assignments only to certain groups of students, for example, male students and then start reading the book. After reading a book about Martin Luther King, Jr., you would allow students who did not have a treatise on the speech to feel horrified. Then, students would relate the negative experience with the real experiences of people who have been involved in prejudice.
