IRA: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
            Who was Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.?  Why do we have a holiday to honor him?  Why is he an American hero?  Research the life and times of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.  Try the library, Epic Books (getepic.com), and websites to learn about him.  You might even know someone who remembers when he was alive and could interview them.  Write a paragraph about Dr. King, answering the questions and telling what you’ve learned about him.
            You may write your paragraph on your own paper or as a Google Doc.  Turn in or share no later than Friday, January 20, 2017.

*The MLK Tic-Tac-Toe assignment is due no later than Wednesday, 1/18.  As you work on your IRA, complete your tic-tac-toe.
