** From Laura Candler **
**MLK Video on BrainPOP.com** If you've ever seen a BrainPOP video, you're probably just as hooked as me! Most videos are under 5 minutes long but they manage to make complex concepts easy for kids to understand. Most of the videos can only be accessed with a paid subscription, but they do have a lot of free videos, like this excellent one on __ Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr __. Because some of the resources that go with the video are a bit advanced for elementary students, I created a few activities of my own to go along with the video.
