<p>This 3D craft will give your students a fun way to apply their learning about Martin Luther King, Jr. as they colour, write, cut, and glue together the four parts to make a 3D display.</p> <p><strong>The four parts of the craft include:</strong></p> <ul> <li>a portrait to colour</li> <li>key facts about Martin Luther King, Jr.</li> <li>achievements</li> <li>Martin Luther King, Jr. Day</li> </ul> <p>Three line sizes are provided so you can choose what is best for your students.</p> <p>There are suggested questions for the students to address, but I’ve included an editable version so you can use your own prompts that you’d like your students to focus on.</p>

<p>Inspire your students with this pack of six posters about Martin Luther King Jr., who was a man of great character and an exceptional orator whose words inspired many during his lifetime and continue to be a source of inspiration for us today.</p> <p>I chose the quotes on these posters because they have the potential to motivate our students to have good character and to do good in the world. As such, they would make a great starting point for a discussion around ways to make the world a better place, small acts of kindness that make a difference, or dreams they might have for their future.</p> <p>These would look great on a display for Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Black History Month, or to display all year round.</p> <p><strong>What’s included?</strong></p> <ul> <li>One portrait poster</li> <li>Five posters with quotes</li> <li>Colour (bright, boho, neutrals, 70s vibe) and ink saver versions (“I have a dream” poster is ink saver only)</li> <li>1 per page, and 2 per page so you can choose the size you like best</li> </ul>
