What If You Won The Nobel Peace Prize?

In 1964, Martin Luther King, Jr. was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his ongoing activism in the American civil rights movement.

Use this resource around MLK Day to celebrate his legacy and explore the importance of the Nobel Peace Prize.

Students will imagine receiving the honor of the Nobel Peace Prize. Then, they will write a paragraph explaining why they received it.

By completing this creative writing activity, students will use descriptive details to describe an imagined event.

Scaffolding + Extension Tips

Use this single-page resource with your upper elementary students to celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. It was designed as an independent exercise, post-lesson exit ticket or reading center activity. Additionally, you can use this writing exercise as a:

Civil rights movement lesson activity
Black History Month lesson activity
Composition practice
Homework assignment
Whole-class lesson review (via smartboard)

Students who need extra support can complete this worksheet in a 1:1 teacher intervention setting or in your guided writing group.

Fast finishers can draw a picture on the back of the worksheet showing themselves receiving the Nobel Peace Prize.
