Abstract	Developed in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., this is a short collection of suggested activities to teach black awareness in the elementary and secondary grades through King's philosophy. An introductory biographical sketch of King and an article about his accomplishments are provided. Activities are divided into grade-level ranges for the following areas: exploratory activities, developmental activities, music, dramatic plays, language arts, arithmetic, and culminating activities. An example of a music activity for grades 3-7 is to play recordings of spirituals such as "Go Down Moses" and have pupils interpret the words. An example of a language arts activity for upper grades is to have pupils write original poems around themes of bravery, courage, unity, and brotherhood. Suggestions for evaluation are included. Appendix A contains a list of some of King's speeches and quotations, an excerpt of "I Have a Dream," and parts of his letter from a Birmingham jail in 1963. Appendix B contains the words of some freedom songs. (Author/ND)
