This blank outline worksheet is appropriate for use with students in grades 4-9, particularly those who are mastering the skills of outline creation and self-directed research. Students gather at least three facts for each of seven areas of Dr. King's life: (1) birth and childhood, (2) education, (3) marriage, (4) career, (5) civil rights movement, (6) assassination, and (7) legacy.

This works great as a stand-alone exercise, or as a prelude to a written essay on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
