Word Art With Dr. King's Words
In this activity, children and adults will review one or more composition by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., identify meaningful words and phrases, and create word art using the Wordle Web site. This activity will help children develop vocabulary and critical reading skills by encouraging them to think carefully about the words Dr. King used in speeches and letters. Special focus is given to figurative language and poetic devices: repetition, idioms, similes, metaphors. This resource uses Wordle and compositions of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to teach figurative language and analyze the impact of specific word choice on meaning and tone.
