This type of unit is usually covered in English language arts or history. Watch students and staff stop and look at your MLK poster…”I Have a Dream,” poster is eye-catching!

This product allowed students to cooperate and show some creativity and I tied it into our Black History Month discussion and lessons.

The ” I Have a Dream,” poster includes assembly instructions, writing activity instructions, coloring directions, and helpful tips to make it the best ever! You will only need to print this one time per class! That’s it. The collaboration poster project is a perfect size to laminate. The finished poster is 3.3 feet tall by 2.6 feet wide.

My students wouldn’t let me take this down. We had it up all year.

This is a great classroom management tool, too! The message is so meaningful and reflective. You’ll love watching your students collaborate. The activity is designed for students to have fun, communicate and work together. The writing activity is truly insightful and provoking. I love seeing the personal touches made to each poster piece.

Includes:

• Explicit and complete directions from start to finish – writing, coloring, and assembling.
• An optional row of pieces in the event you have more students
• Over 25? No problem! It comes with bonus pieces.
• A writing activity focusing on “I Have a Dream.”

Loved this. Everyone in my school was impressed with how these turned out in the hallways with my 3 core classes of 5th graders after analyzing the rhetoric and language in MLK Jr.’s speech.

Recommended supplies needed: crayons, colored pencils, scissors, tape or stapler. I would allow two class periods for coloring, writing response, and assembling.
