Ideas for the quotations: Make an overhead of the quotations; have students choose one or two to write about. Through out the month of January, write one of MLK's inspirational quotes on the board. As a Daily 5 activity, have students record the quote in their writing journals and comment on it. Have students design a poster around one of their favorite quotations, before you hang them on a bulletin board, have students carry their posters in a peaceful mock-march through the halls of your school, or on the playground.

Challenge students to make as many words as they can, using the letters in Martin Luther King. I purposely did not include Jr.
I've included a list of the 525 that I thought of. While I was making my list, I thought how appropriate that many of these words could be directly associated with Dr. King's life, so I decided to have the extra assignment of having students highlight words that they thought were relevant to MLK.
