"I Have a Dream"

8th grade! Here is a review for your assignment. Print out the "Dream" speech by Dr. King (on the 8th grade page as a Word document) and highlight areas relevant in our search for justice and freedom. Remember to look past some of the wording and extend his message to 2008 and our Nation and world today. This assignment is due tomorrow.

The second part is to write a poem that reflects on the message of "I Have a Dream." You may focus on the concepts and ideals using the 1963 speech, or you may be inspired to use the pictures and discussions from today's class. Remember to THINK and allow yourself time to be inspired prior to writing. The poem is due Thursday and must be typed. The goal is to display them at Open House Sunday, so please make sure you have proofread and edited or you will have to rewrite Thursday night.
