I Have A Dream- Homework


Martin Luther King Jr. was born on January 15, 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia. He is best known for being a prominent leader in the advancement of civil rights in the United States and around the world, using nonviolent methods.

In 1955, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. led the Montgomery Bus Boycott and in 1957 he helped to found the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.

On August 28, 1963, Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his famous "I Have a Dream" speech and established his reputation as one of the greatest speakers in American history.

In 1964, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. became the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for his work to end racial segregation and discrimination through civil disobedience and other nonviolent means. He was assassinated on April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tennessee.

Beginning with the words "I Have a Dream," write your own speech about your hopes for our world and its people. Your speech should be at least 5 great, thoughtful sentences.

Great blog! Do you have any tips and hints for aspiring writers?
I'm planning to start my own site soon but I'm a little lost on everything.
Would you recommend starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option?
There are so many choices out there that I'm completely confused .. Any recommendations? Thank you!

I have a dream to make the world a better place. By starting out at school I will stop littering because if we want a planet in 100 years we need to stop littering! We need to be kind to one another. If anybody see's anything just remind them. We need to help the world survive we need to focus on plants, and animals. We need to mostly help the environment.

I have a dream that our world would would have no violence in memory of all the little kids that died on the 14 or 15 of december.At Sandy Hook Elemetary. Just because of a man who had issues with people at school when he was a kid. And there would be a better economy so there would be no hobos. And everyone would study hard and try to make money so they wouldn't be hobos on the street. And the world could end world hunger. And everyone to help buit homeless shelters.

I have a dream that all people should be treated fairly all over the world. Other people are just like us, but they don't have the have the same privileges. I want to change that. I also want to help the planet by not littering and recycling. We should help give more to the pore and needy. We already have everything we need and more. So would it really hurt to give them some food or money.

So if people have no food they have plants that's why. I also i have a dream to no bullying. Because
we don't want people to get hurt or kill them self.

I have a dream. My dream is that people take better care of our planet. We can take better care of our planet by not putting salt on snow. We are putting out pollution that is making our atmosphere unhealthy. Without taking care of the planet, it won't be able to take care of us.
