Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Washington State Resource Guide.
Washington Office of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Olympia, WA. Div. of Instructional Programs and Services.
The Washington State Resource Guide on Martin Luther King, Jr., supplies a wide variety of materials for use with all grade levels in classroom and assembly presentations in public schools. The goal is for every child enrolled in Washington State schools to learn about Dr. King during the days of January 15 to January 17. Resolutions supporting an official educational observance of the Martin Luther King national holiday were proposed or adopted by the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Holiday Commission, the Association of Washington School Principals, and the Washington State School Directors' Association. A list of suggested activities includes the following: (1) sample assembly program; (2) essay contest; (3) a keynote address by a speaker from the Speaker's Bureau; (4) activities chosen from those of previous celebrations; and (5) visits to school and public libraries and joint activities with them. Program guidelines for developing instructional activities, additional instructional activities contained in two lists, and for grades K-6 and one for grades 7-12, and a lesson plan entitled "Martin Luther King, Jr., A Message for All Americans" are also included. Extensive bibiliographies of books (some with annotations), and audiovisual materials are subdivided by the resource centers from which they may be obtained. A list of selected songs from the Civil Rights Movement, and the words to "We Shall Overcome" are included two brief skits and two dramatic readinsg. Ten additional resolutions and teaching suggestions are included in the appendix. (FMW)
