I Have a Dream

"...And when this happens, when we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last! free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"


 

 After reading excerpts from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s speech "I Have a Dream," I asked my students what their dream is?

"Dream big," I encouraged them. "Dream beyond yourself. Don't limit your dream to your tastes, your wants. Let your dream apply to the world."

This is what they came up with.

~ No more cruelness ~

~ The world would be free of abortion ~

~ People will stop killing each other ~

~That all gun shots and killing will stop in all the world ~

~ Everybody will have their needs met ~

~ Stop cutting down trees ~

~ That plants don't get extinct ~

~ The world will be less polluted and be like time in the 1800's ~

~ That in the future terrorists will leave the world ~

~ No more thorns ~

~ No war again ~ 

Good job class!
