MLK and the Civil Rights Movement - Black History

In this pick-up-and-go lesson, your students will learn about how Dr Martin Luther King Jr. led the Civil Rights movement to enormous victories over inequality in the USA.

• The lesson begins with the students tackling a philosophical question.
• Students then share what knowledge they already have on Rosa Parks and MLK
• Students will then look at the Montgomery Bus Boycott (1955) and evaluate the role Parks and MLK played in it.
• Students will then complete an investigation into the March on Washington (1963)
• Knowledge is checked with a ‘true or false’ game
• Knowledge is consolidated with students completing a word cloud

My students love this lesson, and I hope that yours will, too!
