Using the Internet To Study: I Have a Dream

In this lesson students will learn more about who MLK was, what many of his contributions to society were and why those contributions were important. Some ideas which we will study are, nonviolence as a means of solving conflict, the “I have a dream speech,” and MLK Day: Why do we celebrate this day? Students will have the opportunity to search the Internet to learn facts about MLK and to submit their thoughts about him to the World Wide Web. This lesson is important because it will help students to understand the events of the past and to develop a historical perspective about those events.
**This lesson is designed to take more that one day. Students could spend a week doing these activities.
