Feb. 25 class

Class,

I forgot to collect journals yesterday morning, so I'll check this week's next week. If you missed, get it done by next week, and you will get full credit. For this coming week, you have a free-write assignment. I will check for 2 journal entries on Feb. 25 class. Leave your journals at the front table when you arrive on Thursday.

For vocabulary, you will not be tested on last week's list; you will only be tested on this week's vocabulary list (see list below).

Here is your prompt for this week's writing assignment. Because we just did the King Papers field trip, and while it's fresh in our minds, I'm moving that essay up to Feb. 24. Your short story will be due March 4. This will allow us more time to work on your short story during the Feb. 24 class.

One of the quotes that touched me during the field trip was the following from MLK: "The time is always right to do what is right." Using that as a basis, you will write a 5-paragraph essay reflecting how you determine what right is? Include in your essay what you believe MLK used as his basis for determining what right was when it came to civil liberties and social justice in the 1950s and 1960s.

I also want you to listen to his "I have a dream" speech from Washington, D.C., in 1963. You can follow the link below to listen to it.

Your essay should include the proper header (name, date, title of essay: King. Your essay should be no longer than 1 1/2 pages, be in 12-point type, have 1-inch margins, be set in Times Roman or like font.
