Hello colleagues, Have you ever used poetry writing in a social studies class? I'm passing along a beautiful idea for writing a poem to bring together the voices of important historical figures. This example features Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Rosa Parks.

There are some other creative ideas for integrating writing with content in this blog post, too. Your comments are welcome!
