A Portrait Of An Icon

Worksheet Description

This worksheet provides a simple yet powerful framework for students to engage with the life and impact of Martin Luther King Jr. The top half of the page is segmented into four boxes where students are prompted to record key details of King’s life: his birthdate and place, his date and place of death, what he accomplished in his lifetime, and a section to draw his picture. The design of the worksheet encourages students to conduct research and express their learning creatively.

As an educational tool, this worksheet is particularly useful around Martin Luther King Jr. Day, when students across the United States and beyond take time to remember and learn about King’s contribution to civil rights and social justice. By filling out this worksheet, students not only learn historical facts but also connect personally with King’s legacy by visualizing his likeness, making the learning experience both informative and intimate.
