This handbook is designed by teachers for teachers to share ideas and activities for celebrating the Martin Luther King holiday, as well as to teach students about other famous black leaders throughout the school year. The lesson plans and activities are presented for use in K-12 classrooms. Each lesson plan has a designated subject area, goals, behavioral objectives, materials and resources, suggested activities, and an evaluation. Many plans include student-related materials such as puzzles, songs, supplementary readings, program suggestions, and tests items. There is a separate section of general suggestions and projects for additional activities. The appendices include related materials drawn from other sources, a list of contributing school districts, and a list of contributors by grade level. (DJC)
