The Role and Legacy of Martin Luther King

This lesson contains:
A starter to look at some images that relate to MLK and students guess why.
An activity lasting the whole lesson, to complete Cornell Notes, using the worksheet provided, while the lesson progresses. It's very effective for student revision.
A YouTube video to start looking at MLK himself. Students complete the questions by writing them out in full in the top part of their worksheet to summarise his life.
A series of slides covering his role in the civil rights movement, from the Bus Boycott to his speaking skills, to Selma. Students take notes in the appropriate section of the worksheet. You can either talk these through with the class, or print the slides as handouts and shared around in groups.
A YouTube video within the activity to watch the 'I Have a Dream' speech. There is an optional Word File with a transcript of the essential parts of the speech for students to follow along and annotate if you like.
A brief look at those who opposed MLK, like Malcolm X. There is a YouTube clip which students use to interpret the different message being send from Malcolm X.
A plenary to finish the Cornell Notes and summarise the learning about his contribution. The prompts and sentences for this are on the Powerpoint.
