Students in Barnum Woods Elementary School first-grade teacher Camille Iovino-Coli’s class completed a unit of study on American civil rights activist Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Students read various books and short stories on Dr. King’s life, and learned about his legacy through poetry readings as well as video selections through Discovery Education. In the process, they learned the importance of leadership, equality and non-violence.
After learning about Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream” speech, students completed a writing activity. Based on what they learned about Dr. King, they wrote how they could make the world a better place.
