I’m pleased to find my beginners’ biography, Martin Luther King, Jr., included in the resource list for this helpful download called “MLK Jr. Day of Service: Service Learning Lesson Plan.”

Asthe download describes, “Service learning is a method of teaching that combinesclassroom instruction with meaningful community service. This form of learningemphasizes critical thinking and personal reflection while encouraging aheightened sense of community, civic engagement, and personal responsibility.Service learning offers students immediate opportunities to apply classroomlearning to support or enhance the work of local agencies.”

You’ll find many great ideas and resources for your classroom to use in preparation for the upcoming MLK Day of Service.
