Peaceful Solutions
After reading parts of, “Martin’s BIG Words”, talk about Martin Luther King and how he peacefully worked to solve many problems. Have chart paper with t-chart on it and a marker ready. Have students write down a conflict they might have in their life (recess, sharing, rules of a game, etc.) and let them write it down on a post-it. Allow students to place post-its on one side of t-chart. Then have a class discussion of how you could solve those conflicts – write responses on other side of t-chart.
United Streaming has a great video of the book Martin’s Big Words. You can play this for the kids and then have them do a quality tool about why Martin Luther King was a hero.

Martin Luther King Poem
I have a dream, said Martin Luther King
We’re gonna make that dream come true.
Let freedom ring, said Martin Luther King,
It’s up to me and you.
It’s not the color of your hair,
It’s not the color of your skin,
It doesn’t matter what you wear,
It’s the character within.
I have a dream, said Martin Luther King
We’re gonna make that dream come true,
Let freedom ring, said Martin Luther King
It’s up to me and you.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Poem – For higher reading groups
Students can underline parts they found interesting or circle parts that they have questions about, or put stars next to parts that they like.
I am the darker brother.
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,
But I laugh,
And eat well,
And grow strong.
Tomorrow,
I’ll be at the table
When company comes.
Nobody’ll dare
Say to me,
“Eat in the kitchen,”
Then.
Besides,
They’ll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed –
I, too, am America.

Read the book above, then have students make self-to-text connections about how it would feel to be left out or to not be allowed to play with other friends because of their skin color. (Make a T-Chart with one side that says "TEXT" and the other side saying "SELF").
