Here's Our Dream

     In honor of his birthday and MLK Day, my fifth grade class spent a week studying Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s life & life mission for racial justice.  The studying consisted of text and video research, recording information in an organizing table, and writing a short biography or essay responding to whether they believed MLK was a positive or negative influence.  I observed my students be sincerely engaged as they listened to MLK's "I Have a Dream" speech.  For that reason, we created our own (condensed) version of MLK's dream by singling out our favorite lines and adding a few lines of our own!  Please enjoy our work!
