Martin Luther King Jr.
This week we will be studying about Martin Luther King Jr., the civil rights movement and Rosa Parks.
We will team up with Mrs. Taylor the music teacher to do this. The art part of the lesson will include making CONCRETE POETRY. Concrete poetry in when the outline of an image is filled with words, saying, poems or thoughts to express one's feelings. After taking about Martin Luther and the civil rights movement and others like Rosa Parks. We will discuss the following words and ideas that we think of when we remember Martin Luther King Jr.. Words like, acceptance, character, courage, discrimination, dram, equality, freedom, forgiveness, harmony, justice, opportunity, oppression, philanthropy and rights. Then the student will begin filling the portrait of MLK with words that they think most express who he was and what he represented.
While they are working on that we will listen to a video about Rosa Parks. At the end of class the younger elementary students will learn a rap about MLK. Below are some of the examples of concrete poetry that that students created.
