What are the 95 Theses?
How many times did you hear about the 95 theses by Martin Luther as a kid? I learned about them being hammered on the church door. In recent years, I have seen many a meme about them, particularly during the Reformation anniversary. Yet, did you ever really know what any of them say?
Teaching the 95 Theses by Martin Luther
I wanted to help my students understand some of the theses. Therefore, I chose five that were fairly simple for students to understand. We used a large piece of brown construction paper and folded it half to look like a door. Students glued the five theses to the front of the door. Inside the door, the students wrote about the Reformation from information that they have learned from other activities.
