A Special Choice Board For Martin Luther King Jr. Day With PebbleGo, Capstone Interactive eBooks, Pixel Art, An Animated I Have A Dream Speech and More!

Martin Luther King Jr. Day is coming up on Monday, January 15, 2024. 

I have put together a special set of resource to use as we learn more about and celebrate this very special day.  

The first resource is the Martin Luther King Jr. Choice Board.

On the choice board, I included the PebbleGo and PebbleGo Next articles about Martin Luther King Jr. and MLK Jr. Day; 

four Capstone Interactive eBooks, which we also have in our library for teachers and students to check out and read (You can find these interactive eBooks and print books here on the Capstone site). 

For this part of the choice board, you can add your own links to PebbleGo and PebbleGo Next, and the Capstone Interactive eBooks, if you have them for your library and school.  Or you can always add alternative resources too. 

I am very excited about this new addition to this choice board.  Our kids can create a pixel art portrait of MLK, Jr with the StickTogether Pixel Art Canvas found here.  This is free for everyone to use and our kids always have so much fun creating pixel art.  I can't wait to see all of the different MLK Jr. pixel art they create. 

I also added this fun S.T.E.M. Challenge from our friends at Maker Maven, Can You Build A Podium For Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.?; 

an Art Hub for Kids video on How To Draw Martin Luther King, and...

...several videos, including one of his I Have A Dream speech. 

I want to point out a really neat new resource from The Martin Luther King Jr Research and Education Institute at  Stanford University.  It is called Freedom Ring. It is Martin Luther King, Jr's I Have A Dream speech animated. 

You will find that in the upper left corner of the choice board and here.  It can be played as the class watches too.  

Thank you Mrs. Stem for sharing this resource with me. :) 

You can find the link to make a copy of the choice board here. You can then add your own links to PebbleGo, PebbleGo Next and the Capstone eBooks, and any other resources you might want to share.

And remember, to share with your students, just to to File, Share and Publish to the Web.  That is the link you want to share with students. 

I hope you enjoy using this choice board and these resources to celebrate this special day as we remember Martin Luther King, Jr.
