Welcome Back and Happy 2012!

I hope you all had a wonderful break. Now that we are back in the swing of things I thought I would pass on some resources I came across for the new year and Martin Luther King day.

Internet4Classrooms MLK Resource Page - This page houses links to lots of good resources including transcripts of the I Have a Dream Speech, the recording of the speech on teacher tube, a Scholastic link to a civil rights mystery and an interactive timeline. Worth Checking out!

• United Streaming Resources - You must login to view
• Safari Montage - I have put together a playlist of MLK resources - You will need to login using your normal network login to view.

ABCya! Word Clouds - I copied the transcript from the I Have a Dream speech and put it into a word cloud. The word cloud hightlights some of the main points from the speech and could be a discussion starter or good lesson on main idea. This is great to do with any historical speech or even with students own writing. You just copy and past the text in and the word cloud is generated.

 

 ABCteach - Educators Online Resources - Scroll Down there are some New Year's Resources. This site has a paid aspect but also a lot of free interactive activities, flipcharts and printables. I downloaded a really cute math basketball game flipchart with a student gameboard you can print out. Take a look.

Well I think that's enough to get us started for Jan. 3rd. Enjoy and please let me know how I can support you.
