Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is coming up fast. Many teachers are having to come up with ideas for teaching about the slain civil rights leader. Here are a few sites I have discovered recently:

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Lesson Plans - Offers a collection of lesson plans that teach elementary school students about Martin Luther King, Jr. and his message.
