MLK Day and Black history month:
on Infonews, you can find three pages about MLK and Black history month, the first student worksheet features the story of Melba Patillo, the first black student to integrate an all white school…and it was really difficult for her!
Reading those 9 pages is like working on a short story, and the fact that it is online helps the students to go to the end of this document sthat most of them would just refuse to read if it were on paper….
