Today, my 4th graders and I listened to MLK’s “I Have A Dream” speech on Stanford University’s freedomsring website (https://freedomsring.stanford.edu/?view=Speech)
We minded our LC’s, which simply (or complexly) means we looked closely and listened carefully at/to the words of the speech.
We worked on an MLK project where we read Martin’s Big Words written by Doreen Rappaport and illustrated by Bryan Collier as a read aloud; wrote a response to the question, “Which one of Dr. King’s big words is the most meaningful to YOU (love, peace, everyone, courage, together, dream, freedom, hope)?”; and created a picture of a t-shirt that represents our dream for the world.
Look at the answer Nashly gave to the question. “The big word of Dr. King that is most meaningful to me is everyone,” she wrote, “Because Dr. King said ‘be together.’”
Look at the picture of the t-shirt Cintia created. “We Want Freedom,” she drew.
“Who is someone we need to march for? What is something we need to march for?” I asked my students in the spirit of MLK, for the spirit of MLK.
I think the answer to those questions are somewhere in the life and work of these two 9-year-old girls from Honduras.
