Title: Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
Author: Trudi Strain Trueit
Copyright Date: 2008
Publisher: The Child’s World
Possible Theme: Hero, Different Races, Civil Rights
Personal Response: This is a nonfiction book describing the life
and good deeds of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The book tells facts along with
giving poetry and songs that could be sung or recited in January to celebrate
Martin Luther King Day. This book would be great for upper elementary. It is a
bit “wordy” for younger elementary, but the songs and pictures are age
appropriate.
Student Journal Entry: What did Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. accomplish
during his life? Why is it important to celebrate this holiday? What are some
things you can do to keep his dream alive for this generation?
Activity: Make a Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Pin (as shown on page 28 in the
book).
